Whitefriars knobbly red glass Vase, pattern no 9612, 1960s

This is an example of the ‘knobbly’ vase range, first produced by Whitefriars Glass in 1964. The organic circular body tapers gently upwards to the uneven top rim, the thick walls with raised ‘knobs’ irregularly placed and the base countersunk. Founded by James Powell in 1834, who bought an existing glassworks in Whitefriars, London, Whitefriars Glass continued through the generations, relocating to Wealdstone in Middlesex in 1923. Many designers worked for it including Geoffrey Baxter, who created the celebrated ‘banjo’ and ‘drunken bricklayer’ vases, but vases of this form and similar pieces with ‘knobbly’ decoration were designed by William Wilson, Whitefriars’ chief designer, and Harry Dyer, with the pattern number 9612 and to be found in the 1964 catalogue (Introduction Page 1) as one of the new designs for that year (see image XXXX). Unfortunately the high labour costs of handmade glass and the economic difficulties in the UK in the late 1970s made Whitefriars uncompetitive and it ceased trading in 1980 after which its factory was demolished.
