That's an amazing likeness, Lady - up to the slightly excentric polished pontil mark - I think the pontil was attached not quite in the middle in order to keep the piece balanced when the handle was attached... I wonder if this is true for all handled pieces?
I was thinking maybe WF because there was a series of tankarts on Dencill's Yahoo page - I cannot find the link to it right now but it had me enthralled for the best part of an hour. No nothing to do with a slow connection, either.
