Title: Fie fi foam vase
Post by: Ivo on June 03, 2009, 10:51:14 AM

Here is a 6" sommerso vase with a blue inner, a bubbly outer and a clear casing. The rim is cut and polished, so there is no pontil mark. The shape reminds me of Caithness - but I cannot remember ever having seen this use of foam.  Found in Edinburgh - so Scottishness is likely...
