| Whitefriars Sunspot plaques. From the collection of Richard Anderson. Sky Blue, Sage Green and a very pale Yellow. The Sage Green one is very thick glass which is why it looks very dark. |  |
| A full lead crystal Gold Sunspot from my collection. |
|
| Whitefriars (Paul Jeffries) stained glass panel. Thanks to Pinky for sending in the picture. |  |
| Spotted recently by Ken, growing in a field in Texas, USA. |  |
| A Cartouche vase - combining Baxter design and the Whitefriars' stained glass department. Picture sent in by Pinky. See also the Cartouche vase in Pinky's gallery. |  |

| The large Flint bark vase on the left has both the look and feel of Whitefriars, but is 1½" taller than the usual 9" version (shown in the middle of the group). It has the normal pontil on the base - possibly made for an exhibition? Although for it's size it is lighter than normal which may indicate not. |  |
| Large bark vases 9" high (9691). The vase 3rd from the right is in Aqua - thought to be a unique example in this colour and size. From the collection of Gary Kuhnel. |
|
| Four small drunken bricklayer vases - two of which are the wrong way round. Flint was non-production. From the collection of Graham Cooley. |
|
| A Whitefriars doorplate in Twilight. |
|
| An unusual black vase which came from the Whitefriars shop. 15cm high and with embedded bubbles in the stem. The glass shows bright flashes of blue and purple when looked into closely against a bright light. |
|
| Two Porthole vases in Shadow Green. |

| The jug above was acquired by Pinky
Speedie. It has definitely the same mould pattern for the medium bark
vase, but it has been modified to be a jug, and it has had a Dartington
emblem stamped on the bottom. The glass used appears to be a kind of
streaky pattern (Caithness??).
An update on this from SteveStories: "I saw a kingfisher version of the bark jug at a fair the other week, but did not buy it. It absolutely had the feel of being a Whitefriars piece, I have been told that when whitefriars went bust Dartington actually bought several of their patterns. When I asked the factory they scratched their heads collectively and said no, but as they keep no records from that time it could be an oversight." |
 |
| A Flint Nipple vase (9828) and a Flint Hemorrhoid vase from my collection. |
 |
| A Flint Rocket vase (pattern 9825) from the collection of Jenna and Roger Ball in New Zealand. |
|
| From the collection of Neil Edwards, a larger than Production size Duck, and a Glass Fish. Both pieces believed to be unique. |  |
| These two vases with Silver Chloride were both auctioned during November 2001, the one on the left has a Whitefriars label stuck to it, while the one on the right looks very similar but has a Zwiesel label (made in Germany). Both are about 10" high. Maybe someone swapping labels? |   |
| A Willow Cucumber lamp-base. This is in the Whitefriars collection of the Museum of London. Picture is copyright MOL. |
|
| Believed to be a Kingfisher Banjo lamp-base. The top has been left higher than normal and has oval patterns around it where the fitting would have been fixed. |
|
| This is a Hooped lamp. The mould is the same as the Hooped vase except the top was finished differently. This example belongs to Stephen Fawthrop. |  |
| This picture was sent to me by Steve, of a window composed of Whitefriars Architectural Slabs. The rectangular ones are 7" x 3" and the larger square ones are 7" x 7". | 
|
| A Ruby Banjo shown with a Tizer (dark orange) and a normal Tangerine Banjo. The Ruby one is thought to be a unique experimental piece. Comes from Graham Cooley's collection. |  |
| A White Enamel Concentric vase. Picture provided by Rocking Robbie, the vase came from the estate of the late TV presenter Jack Hargreaves. |  |
| A large soda vase in Amber. This is now known to NOT be Whitefriars. Click the picture to see the evidence. |  |
| A Hooped vase in the original Kingfisher (same as used in the Knobbly range), shown alongside a normal Kingfisher Hooped vase on the left. The vase on the right is from Graham's collection. |  |
| A Knobbly vase in Indigo (10" high), shown alongside a common version of the Knobbly range in Kingfisher (7" high). From Graham's collection. |  |
| A Full Lead Crystal Aqua & Millefiori Hemorrhoid vase. This colour combination was only used in paperweights, and must have been some kind of experiment. The vase has no pontil on the bottom, and is ground on the top, which could lead you to conclude it was the work of an individual, rather than that produced by the normal glass blowing team. The first picture shows it with two of the same shape (notice height difference), the second shows the other side of the vase. From Graham's collection. | 
 |
| A Medium Bark vase and a mobile phone in what could have been an experimental colour combination. From Graham Cooley's collection. |  |
| Two light fittings. These were manufactured in both silver and black by Thorn-EMI. The glass was made by Whitefriars. From Graham's collection. |  |
| This one is known to collectors as 'The rocket' (pattern 9825). The example on the left is from the collection of Bridgett Tubb and is Kingfisher in colour. The example on the right is Sky Blue. |
