I have one in the Blue colour





It could have been made by Whitefriars, but so far no evidence to prove this. Parker certainly commissioned from Whitefriars in a big way for the pen bases

Thanks Keith, that's very interesting, so seems Parker commissioned from various sources.

The ones under discussion (mine and the link Chris gave) are very high quality glass, so although no documentation has come to light so far that they may have been made by Whitefriars, I wonder  who else may have made them?  Any ideas?  Anyone?
