Whitefriars Glass

Retro Glass - British - Whitefriars Glass (10 items)
This section of our site concentrates on the beautiful quality retro glass from Whitefriars - with items designed by the legendary Geoffrey Baxter, William Wilson and Harry Dyer amongst others and in the trademark vibrant Whitefriars colours and shapes.

One of the things that particularly interest us in British retro glass from the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s is the huge variety available to collectors – both in terms of production and price. This period of British glass making produced breathtaking studio pieces; stylish and elegant art glass; fabulously kitsch and psychedelic glassware for everyday use and, of course, the brightly coloured and highly textured glass from Whitefriars - there is something to suit every taste and budget and all have earned an equal place here in Pips Trip.

We very much hope you like our selection of Whitefriars glass.
