I think Nemmie meant CV's one......didn't you Nemmie??
They are all special in my eyes.....I couldn't make one squiff or straight, bubbled or not, banged on the floor or hit on the head....each one is a little work of art, and sometimes the idiosyncracies are the icing on the cake...... :pb:

I absolutely agree Rosie.  Each one is unique.  I mean, my vase and CV's couldn't be more different really, but are presumably both Caithness Oban 'ham bones'.

Yes I did. After all that is the one this thread is about! :-)

I thought by 'every one of these' you were referring to Caithness Oban 'ham bones' so naturally pretended to take offense!

I think "ham bone" is one of those "exclusively wfs" descriptions - I'm really not sure it is used for Caithness.

Yup like i said like a nickname.  Like they call the 60/70's WF vase "mobile phone vase". I agree Rosie its the intricacies that make something attractive or not, and guess what, everyones taste is different. Theres perfectionists and artists, im neither thats why i like my murano clown with no nose and this vase. I just pick these things up and if they feel good they dont get put down.
