How can you tell a genuine Whitefriars vase?

To tell a genuine Whitefriars vase apart from replicas, familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the type of vase that you have. Whitefriars is famous for producing ribbon-trailed, wave-ribbed, bubbled, cased, knobby and textured glass vases. Each type has its own defining features, and by learning about them through trusted online resources, you can evaluate your piece. For example, certain styles of ribbon-trailed and wave-ribbed vases were only available in ruby, so a piece in amethyst or sea green would likely not be authentic. Because many convincing replicas are on the market, you may wish to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer assist you with the authentication process.
