Yet more Royal Brierley Studio....
« on: April 16, 2020, 11:16:11 PM »
Been a while, it's getting harder to find anything new, this one is quite plain, shape and colour but is a bit of a monster at 12.25 inches tall  ;D ;D

Not quite big enough for umbrellas or walking sticks.
But it's the right sort of shape for carrying on your head.
It would be a very good statement vase for a spectacular and important flower arrangement.
Simple and elegant, not fighting with the arrangement but underlining it.

Lined with white, water marks wouldn't show any more than they would in a ceramic.  ;D
I do permit glass flowers indoors.

 quote from Keith    ...............….   "it's getting harder to find anything new"  ……      I'm just surprised he hasn't already got them all.         93rd shelf now is it Keith ;D

Only kidding  -  I'm always in awe of your skill and prowess at being such a completist when it comes to collecting  -  you really aught to knock out a booklet or similar to commit to posterity - and us - how diverse your collection is.                  I'll start the ball rolling - will send you a seven and six pence postal order ;D ;D ;D
