Whitefriars Glass: Post-1960 - Page 9 Empty Whitefriars Peacock?

Post by acolleyuk May 6th 2023, 5:07 pm

Happened to find this lurking in a cabinet in a junk shop today. I originally thought it was Mdina or Venetian glass but have drawn a blank trying to find anything.

The ground and polished pontil reminded me of Whitefriars and it seems the Peacock range is visually pretty close.

There’s no signature, for the money it was a no-brainer and I wondered if anyone might be able to identify it.

Thanks in advance for any help

I think it is Whitefrirars Peacock by Peter Wheeler (1969). Although this shape is
not in the pic in the book, it is shown as "S12" in another pic from the
"orange striped studio" range, also by Peter Wheeler, and done at the same time .

Thank you Naomi and Denby.
There’s not a huge amount of information on the Whitefriars Studio Range. That said, I did come across Peter Wheeler and found reference to some generic models, the inference being the Studio Range, in three designs including Peacock, was applied to the standard models. S12 as you say would fit with this design and it stands 7” tall which would also match.
It’s certainly an interesting piece with the colours seldom appearing the same twice and some wonderful inclusions and complexity.

It’s not the sort of question we answer. If you think it’s worth it then take the money Shrugs Personally I like to sell high and buy cheap.

If you require an ID it can be moved to ID my glass, as I don't recall ever seeing a
Whitefriars vase like this.

I did find that pattern sheet above in the large WF book, but the info
is very sketchy, and the are no pictures of the range in the book.

This is taken from the smaller WF book which has a B/W picture
of Baxter showing some of the range, and the accompanying text:

"Some designs, such as a range of bowls and vases decorated
with streaky and ribbon trailed opaque white enamel,
recorded in a 1961 catalogue supplement, remained in production
only briefly, and were afterwards quickly dropped.
As a result of technical difficulties in handling the white enamel,
very few pieces were ever actually made."

Probably why I've never come across one before!

I'll move this over to the appropriate Whitefriars thread in due
course, but as Naomi said, we don't get involved with valuations.

Ok. Cheers I have confirmed by several people who have massive collections it’s definitely whitefriars blue and enamel vase and it’s pretty rare
