Was looking for Ludwig Kny stuff and came upon this page showing a WF Baxter "TV vase" and wondered what it meant.  It's number 7.

It's just an informal name given to the design by collectors (although I read somewhere it was the factory workers themselves who gave them their unofficial titles), because the shape and pattern loosely resembles a television set.

Thanks, Nic.  I wondered if that was the case.
