Title: Unusual Hot-Worked Red Vase Whitefriars??
Post by: LEGSY on November 07, 2019, 03:51:01 PM

Wondering if this is a Whitefriars glass vase has plenty of wear so got some decent age
so many vases Whitefriars have made so wondered if anybody might be able to confirm
Its 19 cm tall 8cm wide approx has a nice polished pontil scar Thanks

The shade of red and the type of pontil mark are much more typical of Japanese glass

I will try and get better base pictures in good light but i agree the shade of red looks a bit modern it maybe the poor lighting on these pictures thank you for your time  :)

Japanese glass is no more modern than Czech or Whitefriars glass...
