Additional information just came in from an expert  :cheers:

It turns out that "gold dust" is also applied as gold foil and then blown out. Which is quite logical: you would not want to fumble around with such an expensive fine powder. A sneeze could be very expensive indeed. :spls:

Ivo,

Does that likely make the dust in my piece of foil origin?  Which would also explain the Patterns in it like the "line"

Click image to enlarge.

Maximum height 8¼" 21cm
Maximum width 10" 25.2cm
Maximum foot diameter 4¾" 12cm
Weight 1lb 8oz 682g

After nearly five years, here is No. 2, turning a rather beautiful Walsh oddity into a Walsh mainstream product line.   This fan vase has a short stem, making it much easier to see how it was made.   The scale of the two vases is quite similar — the two feet are almost exactly the same size.

I wonder what Walsh called the style?

Does anyone know of other examples?
