No problems Frank - I know how busy you are, yet you are always here for us :P

All information gratefully received whenever you are ready, I am in no hurry.

My dealer gets such a lot of Vasart in different shapes, he lets me take photos, so when I am down and I see something different I will try and get a good white background photo and post to you - 90% will be stuff you have but it may be worth it for that 10%

Ref buying - I have about 50 pieces of Monart/Vasart and some strathearn - I am being much more selective these days (I collect in other areas), I missed a Monart piece in his shop last week, because I dithered - it was gone the next day - ahhh it will come again if meant to :wink:

I think the way the last bowl is finished to base and the colours it is late Vasart as you say Frank - finding out that pale yellow colour was used on more late Vasart shapes (could also be Strathearn without 'salmon'), than I ever thought - but I am still just learning.

Thanks as always

Frank:
Gilding has little impact on value, unless 2 someones have not had a piece and decide to fight it out. Probably a low percentage of production but not rare on small bits.

Lots of the Bell's decanters were gilded with a lot of different variations... 1 band, 2 band, different width bands etc.. But it is generally less common on larger pieces.

Frank:
David what was the size of the orange/yellow bowl? Just adding it :)
