Topic: Large cut glass amber vase ??? - ID = Whitefriars Pattern Number: 9016

[BRADBURY7308]

Purchased this large stunning heavy vase yesterday it screams quality too me its very large at 10" in height and has a polished pontil scar to the base, Sady it has a chip on the rim of the foot but i fell for it and had to have it, The base of the foot has a good amount of wear which i like to see! Im wondering if anybody has seen one before ive seen this amber colour in stuart glass and whitefriars glass and other makers but ive not seen this vase before has anybody else??Thanks for looking...

think I'd have fallen for it too.......

This colour has known a long period of use, and the cutting style looks to be very distinctive - hope someone can nail it down for you.

If one of the W/F's experts is available, I'd like them to look at this please..........   it has a great similarity to a W/Fs. vase showing on page 77 of Leslie Jackson's book, which shows a cut vase from the 1938 catalogue (pp. 2 - 4).
The cut lenses separated by a band of slice cutting, and with a ball knop, does look to be a possible candidate.
If this was W/Fs. then it should have the typical very high quality Whitefriars ring.

Unfortunately, I don't thing the catalogue item is shown in the Jackson's book, in colour, it's just a small b. & w. image I can see.

This image from the factory 1931-35 design book. Designed in 1935 by Barnaby Powell.  A very expensive vase in 1935 ( a lot of cutting )

It's great to see it  and also along with the original design 

I think it works out at over £80.00 in today's money, also in sea green (I was thinking what colour is Lea Gn    ? ).

Always wanted that one but couldn't afford it as they have always been scarce and cost several hundreds  you are so lucky , Simply the best .
