Yes, they're soooooo laid back in Amsterdam. It's all that advocaat you know (I shouldn't egg Frank on, should I?  :lol: )

I tried to get a translation into Dutch for celery vase (traubenspuler, tee dah, tee dah, tee dah etc) but I can't find an online translator that does Dutch  :shock:

I can do Croatian, Fillipino, Serbian and even Icelandic...but not Dutch!

Yesssssss.........De selderij vaas.

Thank you Frank.

I've been using this one, which is very good for the Scandinavian languages and some other weird ones!

Heres another one..... with quite hilarious results sometimes.
I've put that transwossit name into various but it simply translates it back to the same word......... perhaps its one of the multi-national words like Dubbya :!:  :!:

I believe that the full name for what in English is called "celery" is "bleekselderij" in Dutch...bleached or white celery and with the Dutch penchant for lumping words together( a la German!!) you would get "bleekselderijvaas"
 :roll:

No, I'm sure that it's not valid in this case  :lol:

Those Brockwitz "Curved Star" celery vases (company pattern name was Zurich) were made in the 1920s and 1930s.

Correct - words are contracted: Selderijvaas.
Bleekselderij = celery, Knolselderij = Celeriac.
ananotherthing: never trust an online translator!
