Not sure Mike, the amber looks a little dark for Whitefriars and the bubbles look a little too neat, always thought Webb maybe?  but always happy to be proved wrong :-[

I don't think I have seen a bubbled Whitefriars tankard...........ever! They seemed to confine bubbles to vases and bowls and paperweights.  Also willing to be proved wrong though!  Why not put them on the IS IT? section of  www.whitefriars.com?
There are members there who have been scouring the catalogues for longer than I have. ::) ::)

????

Tankards, or just glass coffee cups ????  as at only 13.5 cm for height (about 5.25 inches)  -- isn't that a small tankard, IMHO. ???  :huh:  Tankards that I have seen are bigger than that....but just throwing that out there.

Hi Mike, I always tread carefully when 'advising' someone, a big misconception is if it's got bubbles and a ground out polished pontil mark then it must be Whitefriars, some accept the 'advice' gracefully others not quite so.
If you are interested in Whitefriars glass here is another link to go with the one's Emmi gave.

A quick link to the catalogues

Hope this advice helps, good hunting
cheers Chris
