Title: Whitefriars or not,that is the question??????
Post by: keith on September 26, 2009, 08:19:22 PM: 6 inches across,nearly 3 kg's,the colour I can only describe as white wine,not a colour I'd associate with Whitefriars and the bubbles are quite small,ant ideas?Keith.

Sorry — no time for more as I am loading up the car for Cambridge!

Post by: Max on September 26, 2009, 08:35:29 PM: It doesn't look right to me. The shape is different on Keith's one, being more curved towards the top and the bubbles don't look right either. :-\

Post by: keith on September 26, 2009, 08:36:18 PM: Apart from bubbles can't see the connection,no hole for the menu holder and the rim on mine is flat the dunhill one is rounded?Keith.

I have a clear Whitefriars bowl of the same width, but the sides on yourn (as they say in the West Country) are a bit too high for Whitefriars. Also the pontil is, in my opinion, not circular enough.

Still a very nice bowl though. I like it!

Hej

Were hard to tell if you ashtray is from Kastrup Glasswork. There is a ashtray in the Kastrup catalogue from may, 1954 it has item no. 511 and is 4,5 cm in hight and 14 cm in diameter.

Yours look higher so I think not, more likely from a Swedish Glasswork I think.
