http://whitefriarsknobblies.blogspot.com/2009/10/jewels-in-crown-of-knobbly-range-sky.html
I am devoting this blog entirely to the Knobbly range of vases created by Whitefriars from the mid 60s to 1980 when the factory closed. I began collecting this wonderful glass about 5 years ago, and although my collection is quite varied, I have mostly been drawn to the Knobbly range. Thursday, 1 October 2009. THE JEWELS IN THE CROWN OF THE KNOBBLY RANGE - SKY BLUE. The photo below is of my complete set of Sky Blue Knobblies. These two small vases are not catalogued in. L - R 9844 / 9845 / 9843 / 9842.

WHITEFRIARS GLASS/WANNABEES: BARK VASES - RAVENHEAD versus WHITEFRIARS
http://whitefriarsglasswannabees.blogspot.com/2010/08/bark-vases-ravenhead-versus-whitefriars.html
Sunday, 22 August 2010. BARK VASES - RAVENHEAD versus WHITEFRIARS. This boxed Ravenhead "bark" vase must the most commonly misdescribed vase. (photo © David Fletcher) It is sold on ebay, by dealers and in auction houses wrongly attributed to Whitefriars. I imagine thousands were made as they just don't stop turning up, and they also come in a bright blue colour - possibly other colours too. They are commonly found in two sizes - 6.5 inches and 8.25 inches approximately. Detail at the top. Finally, a comp...

WHITEFRIARS GLASS/WANNABEES: BARK VASES
http://whitefriarsglasswannabees.blogspot.com/2013/06/bark-vases.html
Thursday, 20 June 2013. These must be the most mis-described vases of all. Almost anything with a "bark like" texture is described as Whitefriars. Above this text is a photo of the standard Whitefriars bark vases As these vases were mould blown, then the sizes rarely differ significantly. Left to right: Pat. No: 9689 6 " tall, diameter 2.75" / Pat. No: 9690 7.5" tall, diameter 3.25" / Pat. No: 9691 9" tall 4" diameter. SOME EXTRA DATA FOR WHITEFRIARS BARK VASES. Approx. diameter at rim: 2.5 inches.

WHITEFRIARS GLASS/WANNABEES: May 2010
http://whitefriarsglasswannabees.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 12 May 2010. The Whitefriars Trailed glass myth! Before that famous store Woolworths closed down, it was selling a variety of Art Glass. One of the items was a trailed vase, selling for about £7.99. Here it is! Photos above © David Fletcher. These are seen many times on e-bay - label removed - and described as Whitefriars! I have also seen them with a white trail. BEWARE! Some have sold for a considerable sum - odd really - as they do not resemble the real thing at all! 169; Richard Caethoven.

WHITEFRIARS GLASS/WANNABEES: June 2013
http://whitefriarsglasswannabees.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 20 June 2013. None of the photos above are of Whitefriars glass! This is a blog in which I hope to show some glass which is so often wrongly attributed as Whitefriars when it is not. Time and time again you will find them on ebay, in auction houses, Antique shops and Collector’s Centres, independent dealers and at Fairs, all misattributed! I would like to consider this as a “collective” blog and I thank all of those forum members and friends who have contributed to make it a hopeful...Most phot...

The Knobblies were launched at the Blackpool Trade Fair in 1964, and they appeared in the catalogue of that year. They were designed by William Wilson and Harry Dyer. Patterns for all colours were:.

WHITEFRIARS GLASS/WANNABEES: SWANS and DUCKS
http://whitefriarsglasswannabees.blogspot.com/2010/05/swans.html
Thursday, 20 June 2013. Whitefriars made swans from 1938 - 1980 in sizes 5"/6"/8"/10". They were a classic shape and actually do look like a swan, although I have seen them described as sea-horses or dragons! In 1978, this classic swan was changed by the addition of a foot, so can be clearly identified as the later swan. Below are some examples of both non Whitefriars and Whitefriars. The smaller one is a 6" Sapphire swan. The base of the Whitefriars swans is usually flat and polished. I am a collector o...
