Are they Davidsons Luna or Whitefriars ??????

Hi Della - ref. the photo of the two blue vases you have posted above. IMHO I do not think they are Whitefriars.

1) Don't know how tall yours are, but the average weight of my 6" bark vases (and I have just a few) is 750gm.

2) Colour - I know photos can distort the exact colour - but these do not look like a W/F Kingfisher blue to me, and neither are they the rare Sky Blue, which in any event are FLC (NO CLEAR CASING.)

3) Again, unless the angle of the photo is a bit off, they look disproportionally tall for their width/diameter.

Just my opinion.

However, if you didn't break the bank and you like them that's great.  Although I am a W/.F freak, I also just like interesting textured glass of any make, and buy that too.

PS Does ~Ingrid glas  ring any bells? Not sure if this has been mentioned, so sorry if I am repeating stuff.

Della:
Okay, eveyone is fed and happy......for now at least.

Here goes with the new photos.

Hi Emmi,
I don't for one minute doubt what you are saying. I have already been informed that they are not Whitefriars  :cry:  and I really do trust what I was told.
These are 7 1/2 inches tall and that is what made me believe, in the first instance, that they were, (before posting on Is It) at that time just having looked at the online catalogues and photos.
I have heard of Ingrid glass and I have some of that too, but I also don't think they are from there either. They are just too lightweight.
 :?  :? A conundrum, but nontheless, if me spending a few minutes making pictures helps novices that really do want to collect Whitefriars, they I have spent my time wisely :wink:  :lol:
My learning curve continues :D  :D

Ahh you didn't tell me that !!!
I had assumed a flat polished base with or without a polished pontil - I'm not sure which is normal for this equivilant model.
Also 345g seems very light compared to WF.

I admit I thought they were Sky Blue and didn't realise that they were only produced in FLC

Personally, as they are not WF, I find them even more interesting !!!
I can't afford to be a WF fan in any case.

Della:
:oops:  :oops: Sorry Peter, my fault and my apologies.


I find them interesting for the same reason. I never know if I will just come accross one with a label on one day.

I can't afford Whitefriars either, the one that I did get was purely by chance and only cost a few euros (pictured second photo, bottom row left.) I will make do with him for now. :lol:  :lol:
