Description
A gorgeous Vintage Whitefriars Crystal amber glass pitcher set with four glasses.
Made by Whitefriars Crystal, London, this lovely pitcher set is perfect for water or cocktails. The glasses flare out gently into softly rippled sides and sit well in the hand. The colour is a warm orange/ amber.
The pitcher mirrors the glasses with rippled sides and a sunburst design around the ground pontil. It is a very slightly different shade of amber- with a slightly cooler golden / amber.
The pitcher holds around 1500ml and measures 165mm tall with a diameter of 110mm at the rim excluding spout and handle. The glasses have a capacity of 250ml and measure 100mm tall with a diameter of 80mm at the rim.
Whitefriars glass is highly collectable and this set is a great example of their stylish, functional designs.
The original Whitefriars factory was located close to the River Thames. Its location had previously been a monastery of the Carmelite Fathers, whose white habits earned them the nickname ‘White Friars’. The original Whitefriars site was located close to the River Thames, allowing sand, clay, coal and other materials used in the glass making process to be easily be transported to the factory.
As production grew, the firm began construction of the largest and most extensive glass works in the world in Wealdstone, North West London. In 1923 a lit brazier was carried from the old glasshouse to the new factory. It was used to light the first furnace, continuing the burning of the flame from the city glasshouse furnaces which had burnt continuously since 1680.
In 1962 the firm was renamed Whitefriars Glass Limited and the modern, recognisable logo of a stylised friar was introduced, harking back to the original site of the glassworks in the City of London.
In October 1980, after 300 years of glassmaking, the Whitefriars Glass Factory finally closed its doors.
Price for set.
Condition report:
The set is in very good vintage condition with no chips or cracks. There are some slight scuffs to the base of the jug, commensurate with its age, but these do not detract from the attractiveness of the set. One of the glasses still retains its factory sticker. Please see the images for an accurate depiction of their condition.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?

In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
