As has been recently discussed the subject of fakes has reared it's ugly head again. It might be a good idea to post pictures of any fakes that anyone has come across on here as a reference. This will help any new collectors to get an idea of how to tell the difference .

Extremely apt topic Marc. It may be a good idea to put the source of these fakes on here as well for reference. It may help identify others

When you click to reply use the one top right. When you see the reply box there is a tab "add attachment", click that then add file. If you are on your ipad Carol choose from the usual. Hope this helps

This is a very poor fake hoop vase. The colour is not a Whitefriars colour and the pontil is moulded. It even has a trapped fly in the base.

Now it appears that whitefriars stickers are flooding the market. These are the oval gold FLC stickers that were used between '78-'80 and the earlier rectangular FLC ones. We should all be aware and do our research as to which pieces these stickers would appear on. Although it has to be said that the gold oval ones were put on anything according to some ex workers.
