Is this pitcher set Whitefriars or other please?
« on: June 05, 2013, 09:25:19 PM »
Hi I was hoping that someone may be able to confirm who made my (lemonade?) pitcher and tumbler set please? I've got 6 matching glasses. The pitcher has a polished pontil mark to the base, slightly rounded edges. The applied handle is in amethyst or purple. The glasses or tumblers don't have any marks to the base and the glass is thinner than that of the pitcher. They all carry the same flower and leaf decor. I saw an identical set early last year in an antique centre in Wales, but I think the pitcher had a green handle as it was a while ago, they had attributed theirs to Whitefriars? Thanks :D

Hello chriss,one possibility is strombergshyttan imported by elferson.
I have a beer mug and a pitcher in a very similar style.
Good luck.

Hello chriss,did not have time last night to post these pictures.
The beer mug appears in a reprint of a mid 1930`s  elfverson& co catologue of glass produced by strombergshyttan of sweden. The pitcher looked so simmilar in style i convinced myself it was made by the same manufacturer.
Hope this is of some help.
