Geoffrey Baxter Whitefriars Pewter Glass Coffin Vase 9866
Add a piece of iconic British design to your home with this Geoffrey Baxter Whitefriars Pewter Glass Coffin Vase, pattern number 9866. Baxter created this distinctive design during Whitefriars’ celebrated period of textured glass production in the 1960s and 1970s.
The vase features the sought-after Pewter colourway, with smoky grey tones and Whitefriars’ famous textured finish. The heavily textured surface creates a beautiful contrast with the smooth interior. As a result, the glass catches and reflects light in a fascinating way.
The angular Coffin Vase shape gives this piece a strong architectural character. Its sculptural form also makes it an excellent choice for a display cabinet, sideboard, shelf or coffee table. Equally, it works beautifully as a standalone piece without flowers or foliage.
Geoffrey Baxter Whitefriars Design
Geoffrey Baxter became one of the most influential designers associated with Whitefriars glass. His work introduced bold shapes, strong textures and distinctive colours to British art glass.
Pattern 9866 is one of his recognisable Coffin Vase designs. The combination of geometric form and textured glass gives the vase a distinctly mid-century appearance. At the same time, its simple silhouette works well in contemporary interiors.
The Pewter colourway is particularly appealing because of its subtle smoky grey tones. The colour changes beautifully as the light moves across the textured surface.

Condition
This vase remains in good vintage condition and displays very well.
As expected with a vintage piece of this age, there are some minor nibbles to the top rim. The largest nibble measures approximately 2mm along the flat top edge. There is also a small chip of approximately 3mm on the inside rim.
We have photographed these areas clearly so you can see the condition before purchasing. The imperfections do not detract from the vase’s striking appearance when displayed.
A Collectable Piece of British Art Glass
This Geoffrey Baxter Whitefriars Pewter vase would make a superb addition to a collection of British art glass. It is also ideal for anyone who appreciates mid-century modern design, sculptural ceramics and distinctive vintage interiors.
Its compact size makes it easy to display, while the unusual coffin-shaped form gives it plenty of character. The textured Pewter glass also looks particularly effective alongside other Whitefriars pieces.
