Questions About Whitefriars Glass Desk Accessories
- Where is Whitefriars Glass made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whitefriars Glass was made in the United Kingdom from its original founding sometime in the late 17th century to when it ceased operations in 1980. Whitefriars glassware is still world-renowned for its quality and collectability today. Shop a collection of vintage Whitefriars glass from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Is Whitefriars glass still made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, Whitefriars Glass hasn’t been produced since 1980, when the company ceased operations after roughly three centuries in business. Today, Whitefriars glassware is still world-renowned for its quality and craftsmanship. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of vintage Whitefriars glass from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024To tell genuine Whitefriars glass, start by learning about the characteristics of the specific type of glass you may have. Whitefriars pieces often are unmarked, so you'll need to research the defining features of the maker's glassware using trusted online resources to know what to look for. For example, on Whitefriars Onion glass, you can usually expect to see a rippled base with a polished pontil. A piece that was supposedly Onion glass but had a smooth base with a textured pontil would likely be a knockoff. Another way to authenticate your glassware is to use the services of a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. Explore a variety of Whitefriars glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024To tell if Whitefriars glass is real or fake, start with color. Whitefriars was known for producing distinctive, vivid hues, so if, when comparing your glassware to images shared by trusted online resources, you notice that the color is off, your piece is more likely to be a replica. Also, familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the style of glassware and see if your piece has signs of authenticity. For example, Onion vases typically have rippled bases with polished pontils. Knockoffs often show the reverse: an elevated, textured pontil with a smooth surrounding base. If you need help with the authentication process, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Whitefriars glass.
