Whitefriars never made any amberina at all. They did make some cased bicolours but not in lobed or bubbled, and they were blues, purples and...
That orange glass and the enamelling is classic Bohemian/Czech.
You STAR! Huge thanks. Really really appreciated. I could see the stylisation: he'd made his name into a piece of artwork, but I'd no clue what...
Not a silly question at all! They were and are used to grow hyacinths in water. Or other bulbs, sometimes. Fill vase with water, sit bulb on top...
I like that graduated colour one. By the way, the top is wrong for Whitefriars, too, the lobed vases have nice thick uniform edges.
OK, not Whitefriars. The colour is all wrong, as I thought. The bubbles are way too small and the pattern isn't spiral which is how a WF one would...
Thank you! That would be really useful.
Can you get some better photos of the medium one, with the base, and I'll say more on what it's not. Ideally, against a light background.
You're very welcome! I'd use them and think of your grandparents. By the way, that pink glass vase is a hyacinth vase.
Thanks davey - I had a good look at the listing, and I agree with you. They're not actually cracks, but typically lapis veining. The more I look...
Funny thing is, car boot sale today, I picked up a set of Worcester coasters, boxed, by the very same LLB, complete with logo. ;)
Neither of those are Whitefriars. The bubbles are all wrong, as are the colours and the lobing. I suspect they're Italian made. (I own about 400...
The Newhall are very modern and almost worthless I'm afraid. I'd expect to see them on sale as a set for a few dollars at a car boot sale. Same...
No, the amethyst is tumbled amethyst.
Cool! Aren't we useful here. ;)
Blimey, anund, how on earth did you find that! Many thanks indeed. I'd not have thought Dartington, it doesn't have the quality of their older stuff.
Yes, it does have that look. And the quality, too. I just found this:...
Nice transitional aesthetic Art Nouveau to Deco. It's a goose, by the way. With water lilies and reeds.
There was the time he somehow managed to ship crates of lemons back to my grandmother in London. Never did work out how he managed it.
I did indeed get it cheaper! It'll be the same person, I'd think. Thank you for the kind words on the photos. :) It's not rocket science,...
