ID for this Whitefriars "Style" Vase please?
« on: November 21, 2011, 07:26:08 AM »
Hi all

Here I have quite a large vase. The colour kinda look like those Whitefriars arctic blue pieces I've seen on the internet, I don't think this is one of them, but am not an expert of this type of glass, so not quite sure. Its about 25cm tall. It "rings" when you click the vase with your finger.

Can anyone provides me some info re: maker, country of origin age etc please?

TIA

Regards
Brenton

Cheers Brenton, my pleasure. Here is one in a different colour, photographed from a low angle - it makes it look a little odd...
