Hi, assuming the turquoisey bit at the top is just reflection from something else, it looks good to me . Pat. 9783, came in three sizes 10" 8" and 7"  1972.

A nice range with quite a few different shapes

Thanks Emmi

Yes its just a reflection on the top , it seems quite dark to look at , you almost have to hold it up to the light to see all the colours and streaks well

Thanks again Roy

Some of them are like that, so not a problem.

I have just purchased the exact same vase from a very reliable source and it is labelled Whitefriars streaky cylindrical vase purple/blue 1971/1973 pattern no 9783 which seems to be confirmed on the Whitefriars site.
I'm not saying what I paid for it (because I like it so it doesn't matter!) but a"valuer" quoted £20-£30 but there is one for sale on EBay now at a buy it now price of £100 so somewhere in between maybe?

That's good of you to reply, I'm all for a bit of ambition now and again but, preferably,  :rah: not at my expense!
 Anyway I wasn't and it's good to know! :rah:

So we should be buying now as investments for the future - only thing is we haven't got any money because of the recession!
