Hi jomo99, Cathy B, JP and Chris :hi: Thanks for taking the time to reassure me!!

I know very little about Whitefriars glass.....but I am learning!!

Certainly have been aware of the 'usual' shape of the Whitefriars Swan, and yes, JP, I did see your lovely pink, very rare, I mean very very rare swan, and the saucy comments!! You really are a 'Naughty Boy'!!  I will have to make sure I meet you at the Glass Fair if only to give you a severe dressing down!!

I love your golden yellow one Chris, it looks so elegant.

Thank you all.  :kissy:

In fairness to the seller; she clearly states in the description that the 'swan' isn't by Whitefriars, ans that she only listed together because of the colour.

Hi Robert, You are correct, but I ebay messaged her to tell her it was incorrect, then she changed it. (See her revisions).

I gave her the www.whitefriars.com website to look at.

She wrote to thank me very much for the help....... :angel:

JP, Behave!! You are in such trouble!! >:D
