Red cased glass vase, retro - ID = Whitefriars

(1/3) > >>

Gill:
This is the last one this week - honest!  This vase measures 24cms in height, it is quite heavy, the three corners of the triangle curve up from a round base, any ideas, I thought maybe Murano but there,s something about it that says "no" to me.  The clear  glass is particularly clear and bright.  Hope this one's not Chinese! It has some wear to the base.

Hi Gill,

I know very little about Whitefriars, but it looks like a Tricorn vase to me.

Pip:
I agree with Della - it looks like WF in Ruby Red.  One way to sometimes tell the difference is by weight - the Chinese ones usually being extremely lightweight and WF by contrast being nice and weighty.

Gill:
Hurrah!, thanks everyone, certainly looks like it from the links.

Correction please - anything clear cased is heavy regardless of where it has been made.
