Hello everyone,
Hope all is well and all the best for the new year.
I was pondering on the thought that is it possible that the pillars on this North Circular Rd bridge in Southgate could have been an influence on Frank Thrower to design the Brutus vase. I believe that Frank Thrower was from that part of London and knowing how designers get influences from what they see I just thought that both the pillars and Frank Throwers Brutus vase look near on exactly the same. Would like to know what your thoughts would be.
Thanks,
Sean

He was quite an inventive person so there's every chance that could have happened. Well spotted!
