Title: WF vase - can't find it in catalogs
Post by: ahremck on December 08, 2010, 10:06:38 AM

I have this lovely red WF vase.  I can't seem to find it on the websites.  Can anyone help with a catalog number.  The label is pre-1963 export.  That makes sense since I bought it here in Australia.

Is this wave ribbed - I can't see on your photo if it is or not.  If so it will be pat. 9353 c. early 50s -

It is a while since I had the vase out but looking at the full-size photo the distorted background would indicate it is wave ribbed.  Thank you for that Emmi I just could not seem to see it.

I am slowly getting much of my collection onto the glassphotographs site.  Quite a bit of the Australian stuff is now up.  Starting on the rest soon.

Reason you can't find it in the on line catalogues is because the catalogue is not on line, so obviously not available.  It is however in the Whitefriars Jackson book page 115.

Thanks for that, everyone.  I even missed it when I looked through the WF book recently  :-[   Ah well I guess I am getting older 8)
