I have attributed this as a Whitefriars knobbly - But I wonder if it is Czech

ahremck:
I am uncertain of the way one tells the difference between those vases from CZ and the Knobblies from WF.  Am I correct that this is a WF vase.

Greg.:
Not Whitefriars, definitely looks more Czech to me.

ahremck:
What makes you tend towards CZ?  What do I look for to tell the difference?

Ross

Greg.:
The design looks different to other WF knobblies I have seen,(the lobes / hotworking looking much more pronounced) also the base looks different, no ground pontil mark. Base looks typical of Czech production.


Have you seen this WF Knobblies blog, produced by another GMB member....

Wfs knobblies are knobbled with an S-shaped tool - this can help to id them.
This vase is more complex, the bits that stick out stick out more than bits on wfs do, and it has a lot of horizontal sticky out bits - also, it's far better balanced than wfs, which can be quite seriously..... odd-shaped.
