Title: Ruby 6 lobed vase 11inches pontil, Whitefriars??
Post by: Andy on July 24, 2009, 01:29:25 PM

Cant quite find this one in the WF catalogues, polished pontil looks right,
its just over 11 inches tall, 6 lobes,  flared 6 lobed rim, very similar to some of the 70s/80s vases
in the catalogues, the ruby colour does fade a bit towards cranberry nearer the top,
am i missing something, or is it more likely Italian??
Cheers
Andy

Hi there
doesnt strike me as whitefriars especially if it fades to cranberry, the shaping at the top doesnt look like there stlye either, other than that i cant really suggest what it could be
good luck hunting

No idea who made it but it's definitely NOT Whitefriars.

200% NOT Whitefriars!   It looks rather "multinational "  Sorry  :cry:

Never mind,
I saw it in the charity shop and thought id check the catalogues when i got home, but then
decided to buy it, just in case!
Oxfam got a tenner, and i may as well if im lucky!
