I'm pretty sure this is a Whitefriars but can someone please verify or tell me where I can get info on this and maybe give me an estimated value, please?

Adding more photos

I think the answer is in the label. It looks orginal

Hi. I agree it looks like Whitefriars. They made a number of commissioned designs for customers.
We do not suggest values on this Board, but some contributors (including me) are happy to offer their thoughts privately.

Hi,
definitely a correct Whitefriars item. Although this is an uncommon item, most collectors do not put a great value on it as it consists of just a ceramic transfer on a plain glass (although facetted) body.
Probably the best way to sell would be on eBay with a 99p start and it will find its own level. Somewhere in the low tens of pounds I would imagine but no guarantees.

Unfortunately, the '72 Munich Olympics do not tend to be remembered for anything to do with sport.

Similar/same Tony ?

Hi Chris,
Yes, that's another one of the same style of paperweight. Not as common though. I have 5 different designs. 3 are acknowledged in Brian's guide, these being the 1972 Olympics, the Glass Man. Federation ( your latest post) and the 1972 Silver wedding. There is also a 1976 Olympics ( made as a cheaper offering than the millefiori example), and finally a Windsor castle which was a very limited trial (possibly just a few). Brian has confirmed these last two. I have attached a picture.
Cheers,

Hi Chris,
just checked my database and yes, the one I have was from you. I bought it from you on 6th November 2013. I was pleased to add it to my collection as you don't see them very often, if at all.
Cheers,

Thought so :)
