Hi Chasdevlin

Thanks for your reply.

Will check out the Facebook page.

It could well be shape 9124 by Tom Hill, 1937

Hi Denbydump

Thanks so much again.

It is exactly the same dimensions as one of that pattern I found on Google thats in Sea Green though the rim looks a little more wavy than mine though i don't think they were mould blown at that time unlike later pieces so could there be slight variations or am I wrong on that?

Kind Regards

Chip

Hi Denbydump

I have found another example, same colour and is identical to the one I have.

Thank you so much.

Good. Yes I think these were hand-worked and they do vary a bit.

Could this be a molar vase? Who could have made it? It's very heavy and measures about 20cm across the rim and 15cm tall.

It is a Whitefriars piece

Thank you. 60s or 70s, do you think?

It's not a "Molar" vase, which is narrower, but a lobed bowl from the same series.
Shape 9407, Meadow green, designed by Geoffrey Baxter before 1957.
This was in the catalogue from 1957-1970.

Great;vthanks for the info.

Whitefriars 1953 Festival of Britain 9312 paperweight 

A blown glass shallow bowl on cylindrical heavy foot with polished out pontil. 11” diameter, 3 3/4” height. Anyone recognise this quality piece? Thanks

Looks like 9019 sea green, (size 10 1/2 is given in book) 1940 catalogue.

Great! Looks like the same design but not sure mine is sea green. More turquoise/teal. What colours did it come in? Thanks

Looks like Aqua? Did they use that colour in the 1930s?

Flint, sea green, amber, sapphire, emerald.
The depth of colour can be variable.

Actually, think it’s Emerald. Appears in the 1940s catalogue.

Thanks DD, really appreciate your help
