Ruby 6 lobed vase 11inches pontil, Whitefriars??
« on: July 24, 2009, 01:29:25 PM »
Cant quite find this one in the WF catalogues, polished pontil looks right,
its just over 11 inches tall, 6 lobes,  flared 6 lobed rim, very similar to some of the 70s/80s vases
in the catalogues, the ruby colour does fade a bit towards cranberry nearer the top,
am i missing something, or is it more likely Italian??
Cheers
Andy

No idea who made it but it's definitely NOT Whitefriars.
