Topic: Whitefriars 9099 with Logo

[saj204]

Hi

I picked up this Whitefriars 9099 dish today as I have never seen one before with a logo where the pontil mark normally is. I am assuming that this is a piece that they did specifically for a company, but is this unusual as I cant find any online?

Also does anyone know whos the logo is as I can't place it? Though I am sure I recognise it.

The third image is of the logo flipped the right way round as this makes it clearer than through the bowl.

Thanks for any help.

I have seen them before.

There was a discussion on Whitefriars.com at some point but I am not sure they ever pinned down the company involved.

I was going to say it looks a bit like Bentley (the car dudes), but I stand corrected.

That is usually how it is (mistakenly) described on ebay listings.  !!!!  Grrr!

But the "wings" on the Bowmaker logo are in opposite directions to those on the dish!

The one I linked to was upside down Kev, it was the back of a folded card.   This is how it really looks, which is the same as the dish logo...

Doh! Of course the image was upside down!

I really should not make comments when I am sleepy.
