I bought another vase today... I should consider buying flowers now and again and actually use these things...

I've pretty much convinced myself that it's a Whitefriars Vase pattern 9772.. it's about 18 cms tall and pretty heavy...

It has however been used as a vase (hardly surprising) but is in great conditon apart from some deposit (Limescale) inside...

Whats the best way to clean it? Can I just wash it in warm water?

josordoni:
I use Lidl Bathroom cleaner, don't leave it on too long, about 2 minutes or so, and it seems to take off the whitest lime scale.

Hi, lovely vase, I like this pattern very much. Looks like Lilac c1974, probably pat. no. 9777 in catalogues at 7.5 ".  The 9772 is the larger one at 9 ".

For cleaning I use Cillet Bang and leave in overnight, but the Lidl one sounds very effective if only needed to stay in for 2 mins!  I shall try that. Emmi

josordoni:
It's cheaper as well Emmi!

I have just found a concentrated Limescale remover, here in Holland, it is supposed to be diluted before use, but I have used it in 3 vases and so far each one has come up spotless, with very little effort.
My lateset purchase, which arrived this afternoon, is now sparkling clean and I am one happy camper  :D  :D
