They don't actually sell well at all. Very strange, given the beautiful colour and the age. You'd probably struggle to get £15-20 for it. One didn't sell in a local charity shop for £15, even after I told them what it was. (I didn't try it out on my back). But if you're happy with it that's all that matters. :thup:

Keith - very nice piece, marvellous colour, but why are you putting bowls full of water on your shelf?? :24:

For the cats' drinking water, obviously.  ::)

(My brother keeps candles floating in his cats' drinking water, which is on the coffee table in the sitting room.)

It was £10 quid cheaper this time,does that mean  rainwater has come down in price(good one Paul ::) :24:
