Title: Whitefriars soda vase in midnight? ID = Whitefriars, pattern 9600
Post by: lyndhurst44 on December 11, 2014, 11:44:05 AM

Hi,
It looks like Whitefriars 9598 / 9599, the colour seems right but the size, 8" tall, is not. It is light in weight and has a polished pontil. There are movement marks around the base edge so probably not modern.
Whose vase is it please?
Thanks,
Bryn

Hi Chris,
Many thanks. That is one place I failed to look ::). That has definitely cancelled my trip to the Charity shop!
Is it an unusual size Chris?
Cheers,
Bryn
