I'm no help with the vase, but that picture of BB and Lucille is FINE!

 

Hi Jr! Glad you got this thread started. Now you need to share what you DO know - dimensions, where you got it, why you suspect it was made by Whitefriars.

A photo of the bottom will also help (Glassies and potties always want to see the bottom even if there are no obvious marks.)

Ha-ha I think so myself such a strong image of BB and Lucille !! Thanks!?

 

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 pieces of Whitefriars!)

 

Thanks for the info as I said I'm a novice in this area is the small one fits all the measurements of the medium lobed vase again im a novice so any information would be great thanks

 

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.

 

Leave it with me many thanks!!

Unless I missed it before, a HUGE WELCOME Jr85!!!!! You are bound to LOVE it here!!!!! Fun and informative!!!

 

Erickson made a lot of glass with controlled bubbles.

 

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 look. The base is wrong, too. A WF base would be neatly sliced, for want of a better word, with a nicely polished indented pontil. You wouldn't get those sort of extra indents. I'm still inclined to Italian - those are more like the bullicante type of controlled bubbles.
