Hi, I found this lovely green bowl on the car boot today for £2. It has six lobes, is 9 and a half inches across and four inches deep. It does have some wear on the bottom. Its quite thick and heavy. I did test it under UV light as it looks like uranium glass but its not. I had an ice blue vase with a very similar base which I knew for sure was Whitefriars, it very sadly got smashed when we had a new boiler fitted. :cry: I have looked at the Whitefriar catalogues but admit to getting confused. I found similar but not quite the same. Any info would be lovely. Thanks Cheryl

Could be a 9335 can I see a picture from above of it bottom up. Or a side profile either should help to identify it.
Does it look like this from the side?

Hi, my bowl is flatter than the one shown, but very similar. Hope the new picture helps. Cheryl

Ellis Burgh (Kosta Boda) made a very similar bowl. I have Citrine one but it is due to be photographed(one day some day). It does have a very fine marking Bxxxx not particularly obvious. I think the pattern is called Fleur but I am not at all certain about that.

A bit elusive the 9335 only appeared in the 1954 catalogue and no one has a copy a photo in the Jackson book page 131 plate 134 I sold a sapphire one a while since and it's not the same shape I have the same bowl in amber and have never been able to pinpoint it to a particular pattern.
Photo here to compare.
