In almost 30 years of collecting this is my first piece, probably because it was cheap !  ;D ;D

Nice one Keith. Perhaps Scottish (but only because I've seen a few in old houses there)

Thanks both, hadn't thought it might be Scottish, when were these made ?

 :) It doesn't look cheap. It looks really rather nicely made and elegant.
It's not a baby pastel pink, it's a fairly decent fuchsia.
What does the surface feel like - is it all smooth or a little uneven? Can you feel bands of colour?
I don't know enough to be able to comment on whether it might be Scottish or not. But I like the idea and would not dismiss it.  8)

Surface is smooth and uneven, yes I can feel the colour bands, it's also quite heavy, it's where to put it that's the problem, bit of an odd shape  ;D

A great colour piece to have as 'the one'.  I love the shape of these. 
Can you prop it up on some kind of perspex stand somehow?
