Topic: Confirmation - Is this a Whitefriars Soda vase or Scandinavian...?

[Greg.]

Hi,

Hoping someone can confirm if this is a Whitefriars Soda vase or Scandinavian.  Measures approximately 8 inches tall and is around 9 inches wide across the middle. Has loads of wear to the base and a ground pontil mark, slightly concave. The colour is somewhere between a blue and purple.

Any info greatly appreciated....

Thanks,
Greg

Have you had a look through the catalogues on Whitefriars.com? If it is not there then very unlikely. The colour does not look right for the Wf soda range.

Here are many of the shapes: http://www.whitefriars.com/catalogues/1964/index.php?pageNum_catalogue=3&totalRows_catalogue=206

Hi John,

Thanks, can't see anything similar in the WF catalogue. I was wondering if it might be a Holmegaard per Lutken design, I've seen a couple of other pieces in a similar colour...?

Thanks
Greg

I vote Scandinavian. Ikea to be more precise....

Hi, pretty sure it's not Whitefriars nor Ikea either  Jacob Bang did some pretty similar for Kastrup had a couple in Amethyst
More likely 60s?

Thanks Chris, thinking it might be Scandinavian, although one that might be harder to pin point. I'll have a look into Kastrup. I see Magnor also produced similar designs. Pretty sure it's late 50s or 60s, looking at the wear on the base it looks like it has some age.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Cheers Greg

looking at the wear on the base it looks like it has some age.

Looking at the same base I come to a different conclusion.
