I the photo a front view or a side view?  This is how a Whitefriars one should look



It is a flattened oval shape which from the side view would look rather thin.

hi mine is just tapered all the way down with no change in shape like your picture

Then yours is likely to be by Caithness.

i have since been given this info Whitefriars Kingfisher blue chimney vase # 9655

regards all

That goes straight down to the bottom; yours curves in. Yours is Caithness

That's my blog stemidd, and the Chimney vase is a very different vase from yours, which as Christine agrees is Caithness.

Looks like a chimney vase and the photo has been overly 'cropped' ?
Or a teardrop from the side?

I thought it was a teardrop from the side, hence my first question.  The angle of the photo certainly does not help, the W/F Chimney vase tapers - or narrows to the top - the photo of the vase in question looks straight all the way down to me..

Whatever..............a better photo would clear it up!

However, if in real life it looks like the one on my blog, then it will be the smallest of the three sizes in which this pattern was made.
