Whitefriars Glass: Post-1960

Thank you, yes it is 22cms tall, is there any way of telling when this may have been produced and what sort of numbers were made?

Unfortunately with the pink colourway it would be impossible to say how many were made, as for the age of it, could be anywhere between 1938 and 78 the period for flat, polished bases, footed swans were introduced in 1978 until 1980.

Thank you

A rare piece, only ever found one way back. People have the fancifull notion that these were produced by swinging them around in the air!
A factory worker told me years ago, they were made by taking the squatter 9651 vase, and stretching it by using a gentle "pendulum"
motion. In the factory they were known as "Leg of mutton" vases.

Looking in the 1974 Whitefriars catalogue, I found the cat. no. M160 'Icicle' glass range. Trying to locate this glass, which looks like a small flute or sherry glass (Height: 6 3/4") but doesn't seem to be listed. Is this in fact an Icicle glass? Any help... Thanks! No idea why these images are sideways??

looks like its listed  in 1974 catalog  item nr  9821

Of course... don't know how I missed that. Would have made more sense to group all of the 'Icicle' pattern together. Thanks

Ruby Red & Knigfisher Blue. The blue one is pattern No 9649.
I can’t find the pattern for the red one. It’s 5”h.

The ruby jug appears to be 9470, from the 1957 catalogue.

Thanks! I couldn’t have found it myself.
The page with the jugs is missing from the 1957 online catalogue. That jug is also in the 1960’s catalogue but with no number.

Not sure which catalogue link you are using but a few extra ones here that were not on the old .com and .org sites

CMC, thank you for the link but the page No7 from the 1957 catalogue is still missing.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Measures roughly 24cm high & 11cm across the top.

I would say 100% correct.
The paper label on the base would read 9691 which is the model number for your vase.
It was put on at the factory and has survived the ravages of time.
Nice item

Hard to fake all those base scratches and that look of age

Also looks good to me.
