    This piece has been in the family since I think the 60's ... can't quite make out the sticker "Made In #@%#@" somewhere...Canada? Any ideas on maker? It's about 7" tall. Base is somewhat thick, and has a polished pontil. Thanks again everyone!

    Might the sticker say WV GLASS?

    Definitely a possibility. The more I'm staring at the sticker I'm leaning towards MADE IN POLAND. Might be impossible to tell for sure.

    That would be me. ;) It isn't Whitefriars, it is one of the lookalikes. Made in Poland, definitely. These are often sold as WF when there's no label. They also come in amber and some other colours.

    WF labels never said just Made in England: they used a monk outline and others that said full lead crystal.

    You're very welcome. Polish glass was and is very well made.
