Whitefriars Textured Banjo Vase for Auction

 

A Whitefriars 'Banjo' vase, Geoffrey Baxter, mould blown kingfisher blue glass, number 9681, for auction 17th April


Whitefriars Textured range with its distinctive shapes such as the Drunken BricklayerTotem and Banjo, was released in a range of three colours in 1967.

To cinnamon, indigo, and willow were added meadow green, kingfisher blue as can be seen here, and a vibrant tangerine by 1969. Aubergine and pewter colours were short-lived later additions as were near the handful of pieces made in clear flint and ruby red glass.
