How can you tell genuine Whitefriars glass?
1 Answer
To 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.
