thanks Frank - and I appreciate your comments re statistics and desirablity
However, I know which I would prefer........so, you can have my signed FT Munich tankard, and I'll take the opalescent early C20 opalescent piece marked with Rene's surname. I somehow don't think there are as many people chasing the tankards as Rene's bowls
First meal I bought for a girl cost me something like 49/6d (for the two of us) including wine - nowadays I'd probabaly just get fish and chips for that - or a boot sale tankard
