I wasn't sure Sue, I just remembered seeing one somewhere.... In that case, lurking somewhere on your computer, there are photos of it.

Found 2, but none from a side angle. I've got a borrowed monitor, but the colours are still completely wonky, I can't adjust anything from the original, just have to hope it works elsewhere "as it comes".

I've had this bowl for a very long time and 'forgotten' about it, but today the sun was out and caught the colours beautifully so I took some pictures.  I think it shows the pattern in this yellow and orange really well.  I love the yellow effect as it looks somewhat like feathered wings in this piece (see first pic for the yellow effect) :)

Here's my yellow-splodged bottle with added redy-orange (see stopper pic.) , clear cased. Has an early signature (i.e not thick, vibrating pen) . 24.5 cm tall.
The general shape of the bottle might help to give a closer date . Both the stopper and inside of the neck have been ground. Perfectly formed, no wonkyness.

Nice one. It's a difficult design to find, and you've got the stopper too.
(I've got one of these lovely decanters myself.)

The design is one that fits into the "not yet properly recognised straight-after-Harris period" - the one when Vicente Boffo and Jim Munnelly were still working and things were still quite experimental *and* sophisticated.

Cheers Sue !

I'm a huge fan of this colour combination (now !) , and as m suggested , when the sun shines on it, it really does glow with brightness and a feeling of the Mediterranean heat ! ;)

I shall be looking out for more of it .....'the not yet properly recognised period ! '....particularly in this colourway  :D

Thanks again , Mike
