Hi,

I've been watching this thread with interest and, for the life of me couldn't understand why you let this one go Sue  I think a whoops applies  :huh: :spls: :kissy:

Strange that no-one seems to have picked up on something Adam said:

..... now that I've remembered some rather salient information

A bit of a coy comment from one so knowledgeable!!

Well spotted, Nigel...I think I should probably plead the fifth amendment here but...ahem...the reason that I recognised it is that I...er....bought it from Antoine Leperlier rather a long time ago and we sold it in our Highgate High Street gallery, Coleridge. I'm a bit hazy on the actual date. I think it must have been close to 1980. Over the past 30 years I have bought and sold rather a lot of contemporary glass and have also made quite a few pieces and my memory is reaching the point where I can't actually remember every single one of them!

I did so pick it up  :24: - but reckoned Adam had his own reasons for keeping quiet - such as double-checking the info was correct bofore diving in, feet first.

Such as spring cleaning his memory  :rn:

I have my Alison Kinnaird, Nigel, I have my Alison Kinnaird.  :smg: :smg: :smg:

Which would you choose, if it were one or t'other?

[nigel benson]

D'you know that was going through my mind as I did the last post. "She's got that Alison Kinnaird piece...." The answer is, you've got the piece I would prefer to have at home, but I admire the pate de verre piece very much as well!

Two different wee beasties, but both very desirable.

If I am ever reduced to having to part with it, you will be the first to know, Nigel, but it is one of the last things which would go - I love it and enjoy it so much.
I was showing it off to a friend last week, and he spotted that one of the tiny birds was actually upside down - on a small section where I had thought everything was hunky-dory. 
It never ceases to astound and amaze me.

I don't think it is upside down Sue,  it is just looking down in astonishment at the mad four-legged chicken running underneath!!  :usd:
