Title: Golden Amber Whitefriars Vase Model 9572? Info Required
Post by: kane_u_pain on January 06, 2021, 02:02:52 AM

Hi All, long time no posting!  ;D Hope everyone is keeping safe!

Can anyone help with confirmation on production years for this one.

What I know!

Whitefriars Golden Amber Vase Model 9572.

The catalogues say that Golden Amber was discontinued in 1960 and I can't see it reappearing in the 60's/70's.. This model shows up in the early 60's from what I can see in the incomplete catalogues (why did they scan them so small!). So I would assume that this colour/piece was produced in the late 50's?

Would be great to hear from the Whitefrairs collectors who have more knowledge than me.

Guessing you looked through Emmi's colour guide: https://whitefriars-glass.com/colour-guide.php

Looks like mid 50s could be favourite for your vase, this shape was in production then and the colour was in use at the same time. Not certain that Golden Amber was entirely dropped but need someone with more Whitefriars knowledge for a definitive answer. From memory the situation can be complicated by the later use of the Full Lead Crystal (FLC) colours which included Gold and the two can be difficult to tell apart.
