Small Beaked Vase = Whitefriars

<< < (2/7) > >>

Nic,
 hi, I thought the blockier shape of the base looks more like some Per Lutken pieces I have seen. Maybe another avenue to investigate?

Pinkspoons:
I don't think that Holmegaard is responsible for my vase - HG rarely used polished pontils except on tableware, and the blue isn't a Holmegaard blue - it's too smokey.

Lutken beak vases for HG look like this:

Thanks for the suggestion, though.  :D

Pinkspoons:
Ooh, very nice.

But they all still seem to have quite curvy organic lines.

lucyw:
Hi again,
 I have seen different designs by Per very much in the style of yours. That base just doesn't look right for WF. I know every piece is hand blown and subject to varients, but yours seems too different to me.
I don't want to rock the boat, just stating an opinion.

Pinkspoons:
It's okay, Lou - I wasn't on the offensive; I'm not 100% this vase is WF, but it does fit that stable more than it does Holmegaard in terms of colour, shape (kind of), and finish to the base. Most Lutken vases are flat-polished, and Holmegaard's aqua blue is pretty consistant throughout the years (except for a few varying shades with some HG pressed glass I own, but the glass is brighter, rather than smokier).

But I'd be glad to be wrong - I collect Holmegaard far more obsessively than I do Whitefriars.  :lol:

Example of colours - Holmegaard Aqua on the right, beaked vase on the left. Don't have any Whitefriars in Arctic Blue to compare it to - I did have a duck, but I sold it.  :(
