OTHER 'BARK' LOOKALIKES/WANNABEES

Many other glass manufacturers made "bark -ish" lookalikes - again often misdescribed as Whitefriars.  Below is some information where it is available, and photos of other vases as yet unidentified.

These two above were new stock a few years ago in the British Heart Foundation Charity shops.  Often to be found on e-bay described as Whitefriars. Also came in different sizes and a few other colours.
