 ??? My accent is Edinburgh.
Probably the best-spoken and most easily understood english to be found anywhere in the uk and northern Ireland.... according to foreign students who want to learn english with a good accent. ;D

The vase looks like a bit of a mix what is called "Crystal blue stripe", designed by MH at Mdina and still made today and the early Rosenthal range.
It's a bit late in the day at 1990 for this to be occurring at IoWSG, so interesting in that respect. Slightly more subtle, nice.

Yes M it was nice to see the signed Ditchfield piece  the design is like the LC Tiffany iridescent peacock feather, mine has a slightly different shape neck otherwise identical,,,, they both have small rough indented pontils with a matt flatted ring around it . Looking more closely at mine with a better magniification i can see a couple of letters , it helped knowing exactly where to look they are both very thick and heavy hence a lot of base wear .  I know you appreciate the power of knowledge M . Cheers dont miss Brum .  :) jp
