Title: Whitefriars Vases?
Post by: barbieD on October 01, 2018, 09:46:04 AM

Does anyone think these could be Whitefriars. One is 17cm the other 18cm high. Any info would be great
Thanks

If they are Whitefriars (James Powell & Sons) they will usually have a highly polished concave shaped pontil to the base.

Unfortunately, lots of companies used highly polished concave pontil marks, so that is not a good indicator

They have a Thomas Webb look about them, but I wouldn't be able to confirm them as that for certain.
