Title: ID on this amethyst vase if poss please.
Post by: Pat on July 29, 2009, 11:31:00 AM

This is 8.5" or 21.5cms tall. reminds me a bit of a Whitefriars mobile phone but not so heavy. The glass is not thick and not thin. Just very nicely made. Scandi crossed my mind but not sure.

Well I collect Riihimaki but not seen anything like this. I thought of Scandi because Baxter was there and got inspiration for his Whitefriars.

Didn't think it was Pip, still wonder if it's some sort of Scandi though.

My first instinct is that it's possibly German.

Correction, it is not said to be a "fake" Whitefriars sticker, it says it is a "fraudulently applied" Whitefriars sticker.  A big difference ,  and somewhat scaremongering to suggest there are fake stickers!  Emmi

All is forgiven Kaz, it's just I get "jumpy" at "fake" and "Whitefriars" in the same sentence!!  Sorry, didn't mean to attack you!
