Pale Green Decanter 12" with hollow stopper
nigel benson:
Hello again Cat,
I've just gone through the whole link to the decanters on Whitefriars.com and found nothing that truely resembles your friend's decanter. When you enlarge all the pics they have, even though there are some mistakes, all the decanters get to be enlarged at some point. A few of the pics are a bit blurred, but if you're lucky enough to know the item there's nothing close there.
I thought I'd do the exercise in case I was missing some information about WF decanters, however there's nothing that isn't available elsewhere, which means that I can say with reasonable confidence "not Whitefriars".
On the positive side though, I seriously doubt that it will turn out to be some form of re-cycled glass :)
Give a bit of time, maybe someone out there, who knows, hasn't dropped in yet.
Nigel

Hi Nigel,
I didn't think of opening them all - I did try opening the one whose picture appeared when I tried opening the one I wanted to see (thinking they might just be round the wrong way). Seeing them close makes a big difference.
I might have confused you. This is mine, and my first thought wouldn't have been WF, but the one I was looking for I am almost sure I saw on the WF site - a small conical hooped/banded decanter with round flattened stopper in flint. I will go through the catalogues again some time - it's not urgent as I don't expect my Friend would sell it!
Thanks again
Cat

Hi Cat, in one of my book's it states that your decanter was an origional design by Harry Powell, it was so popular that Walsh Birmingham, Webb's and Webb Corbett made their own variations.

Dexter - is your book the "Whitefriars Glass: Art of James Powell & Sons"? If so, I have that on order and will be able to see it in the flesh so to speak. Thanks Cat

Hi Cat, no it was in Millers glass buyers guide.
