Please don't use capital letters, it's considered the equivalent of shouting (and it is harder to read).

Hi Kaz, it's a copy, really hope you didn't pay a lot for it, appear regularly on Ebay along with copies of the onion vase and hooped vase, most like this seller are selling them for what they are copies, but some are appearing at fairs and on eBay described as Whitefriars.

£12 is a fair price for what it is, and as you say its a good idea for future reference to compare with,

unfortunately there is a particular charity shop that sells these new on their shelves but I can't remember which one, think it was either Cancer Research or Heart Foundation shops, they suddenly appeared last year
