Hi mate, not exactly 'budding' are you  ::) you can email me with your answer though, only ever had 2 of these and both were ruby, one wave ribbed and one diamond moulded. So your other colour sounds interesting?
I put some photo's of a Pino signoretto bird figure on to guess who made it, a couple of folk said that was fun do some more only trouble is nobody is joining in :cry:

Learned over the years it's always better to know a bit about a lot of things than a lot about one thing.
The answer can be found here in the catalogues.

I'm not really a Whitefriars collector, so can we ask which of those catalogues yours is in Chris?

Anne, what can I do, seeing all those lovely Trinket Sets, I want to start collecting those now!!  As if the Candy Containers that Rose linked me to wasn't enough.

And JP, I've got over 500 glass animals and I still haven't got a clue about them...well I have, but only a little one!!

Rosie, please try and resist! They take over your house, and your head, and every spare waking minute - you'll go  :hb1: and curse the day you saw my link, truly!  :t:

BTW I've added two animals to my collection this week as well: a tiny pink Heron swan and a clear Whitefriars dilly duck.  :rah:

Hi Rosie, the idea is you start with the 1938 catalogue and work your way up to the 1980 one till you find it  :sun:

http://www.whitefriars.com/catalogues/

Just for you though a clue it only appears in one of the available on-line catalogues

I scanned the catalogues and didn't find anything, but then you made it too easy by giving the date and the keyword "diamond". 9381, usually seen with optic waves, but apparently also made in optic diamond?
