Hi,
 Very beautiful glasses but not Powell ( Whitefriars ) in my opinion............ The colour and the mention of a 'Sharp pontil' do not point to them being from this source.
 I am sure John or Nigel may have similar feelings........

Regards,
             Patrick, :)

Possibly Salviati blanks engraved elswhere as often happened,i believe i may have read this somewhere over the years .
 i have what i am sure is a Salviati glass enamelled by Moser . Powell used similar desings in his Venetian inspired glasses . :sleep:

Hi,

The vase that you reference in the first link was perfectly correct, in fact I bought it ;) However, it was something like 30 cms high (from memory). Sorry, but you cannot just tranfer the pattern from a vase to a drinking glass and then assume that the same company made a version in that pattern - it just doesn't work that way  :o 

The other link that you give shows a good Powell amethyst bowl accompanied by two continental drinking glasses. The rule here is, just like eBay, auctions are not necessarily accurate with their attributions!
