I just bought this vase this morning. Am I right in describing this as a Side Stripe vase or should it be a lollipop? It has the usual applied trails up each side, however, all the other examples I can find illustrated have a shorter, flared out rim. This vase, however, has a tall slender neck with a very narrow opening like those seen on Lollipop vases....
It stands about 8 1/4 inches tall.
Thanks,
Steven :)

Did you get it from GB? I nearly bought it on Sunday, till I realised it had a big chip. I think it's a bit of an oddball

Well spotted! Yes it came from GB & has a chip on the edge of the foot. I originally put it back too, but when I was walking back to the checkout I couldn't resist going back for it. I think it's its odball nature that appeals to me... ;)

It's a Side-Stripe Lollipop in "Tiger" - rather a nice rendition of Tiger too :thup: - the colours are lovely and deep - I think later Tiger is much flatter in tone and the yellow frothy background much more of a creamy white shade. I don't like the later ones nearly so much. This design (Tiger) is by Eric Dobson, it is still made, though now it's called Marble.

Thanks Sue, the colours really are lovely, another reason why I couldn't resist it despite the damage. Having looked on the Mdina site I see what you mean about the later ones, they're nowhere near as nice as this.
Thanks again,
Steven ;)

It is a very nice one, and I carried around for a long time before I discovered the chip...
