HI, Thank you very much for that,it is a really lovely looking piece!,I have never quite managed to acquire one for myself yet,and they very occaisionally turn up!.I do have a number of the 'Angular' vases that were based on the same shape,but smaller and I think probably thicker walled,at around 6 1/4" tall,the weight(of mine) varying widely from 1lb 12oz to 2lb 14oz (all approx the same height),I would be interested to know how tall and how heavy/thick walled is your floor vase?.I definately would appreciate a good photograph or two,I know Martin,my co-website friend does not have one of these either,so it'll be great to be able to show an example on the website,as we hope to show examples of as many of RSWs pieces as possible!. I would like to add the interesting quote from your friend if that is alright with you?,(with credit of course!).Could you email me the photos direct?,I think it may be easier for to save them that way!.Thanks again.....lovely vase!, Chris email: greenchris47@yahoo.com
