Many thanks Graphite - I agree, it's much thicker than the vases but the striations and the flared rim are the virtually identical which is what's making me think they might be related. Marcus, thanks for the link (it's a beautiful site even if I can't understand a single word on it :cry: ) but I'll contact Marika as per your suggestion and ask if she can help. Cheers! (It's great to have you back btw).
