Funnily enough, Heidi and I were talking to Roger Dodsworth (Broadfield House) about this very vase the other week - apparently it was a bit rich for them, but they managed to secure something similar a few years ago.

I have one in the downstairs loo (well I might have, if I had a downstairs loo). I don't like it. Why spoil all that fabulous engraving with big, chunky frilly stuff  >:(

That's the same one Andy was talking about in the OP.

Fabulous engraving!  But why call it a vase?!

Maybe it's a bit big for a pokal.  It's 23" (58 cm). 

The other vase they mention, Bohm's first one with this engraving, is shown and discussed in Hajdamach, pg. 157 - "Bohm's Masterpiece."

Yeah, I should have looked at the measurements closer - almost two feet tall is a little on the big side. :)
