Title: Ppw identification - strange shape, maybe murano
Post by: pandelune on April 01, 2013, 11:40:00 AM

In a french antiques magazine last month.
I am not sure of where it comes from. Murano? But the colors are not typical from Murano.

Looks like a Whitefriars piece to me.

I agree, Whitefriars.  A similar piece runs on ebay.

Hi

I think there are 3 or 4 different standard Whitefriars cylinder designs, where the cutting / fluting varies.

It mentions 1973 so probably WF/s  date cane in it . ???

You certainly don't want to be paying 400 Euros for it!
