thanks - kind of you to research this for me, and heartwarming to see that I'm in good company  -  I used to have the Barbara Morris book - perhaps I too should leave my glass to the nation.          It's unclear as to which piece the height of 15 cm. refers - mine are identical at 20.5 cm., but obviously these things made in various sizes.       Think I prefer the right hand example with the infill of reddish colour. 

I did send you a pm - via the Board  -  I didn't see any reply so presumably it didn't reach you??            I'll try taking the pix completely afresh today or tomorrow, and trying again.   

thanks again for the link. :-*

I wondered whether you'd decided not to.  Nothing has come through to me unfortunately  :-\

The dimensions of the three vases are

Height 15cm
Height 22cm (one with pompeiian red infill)
Height 25cm (tallest one with the yellowish picture on it)

hmm - no idea why then.      Send me the same (via the Board) with your personal email address  -  this was what I had done, since it seems the Board's pm system doesn't allow for attachment of pix.

thanks for the vase sizes  -  'Pompeiian red infill' I like.
