[QUOTE="Chinoiserie, post: 9548545, member: 79460"]I've not been posting so much this week as I have been on holiday in Madeira. Fabulous place but only one charity shop which seemed to charge over 10 euros for everything including a 3" Minton Marlow pin dish. Anyway back home now... I bought this today for a couple o quid. I was thinking possibly Murano at first. It has a ground down pontil and polished base so thought it's hand blown so I would always get my money back. Besides I really like it so it could quite happily sit on the side forever. It's nice and tactile. I've done a Google image search and found this below: - [URL]https://www.20thcenturyglass.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=11024[/URL] It would be nice if it was an original Whitefriars but I'm very open to the idea of it just being a lookalike. Incidentally I always struggle telling a genuine whitefriars piece. There seem to be so many repros about. Are there any telltale signs? It is 12.5cm square.
