Thanks Frank!
I think I have seen one like it for sale on ebay before, but never in the flesh. I'll see if I can find anything more about it. Definitely not Whitefriars though, but Ray already knows that! I do like it!
I try to stick to the ones with bubbles in really, but I just can' t resist........ :lol: you know what I mean!

Thanks for that Ray!

Do you know for sure it is Strathern? I haven't seen anything documented, but then I have never found anything documented about my bud vases

(with the exception of Whitefriars). I suppose they weren't important enough. Just cheap and cheerful bread and butter pieces. Hey but who cares! I've had loads of fun collecting them, and even more fun trying to identify them. :lol: :lol:
