Title: £600,000 for an enamelled finger bowl - mamluk enamelled glass
Post by: flying free on January 05, 2012, 08:50:59 AM

 :o I've been having a trawl through various enamelled pieces. I remember a few years ago thinking I would never buy enamelled glass....too old fashioned lol, but recently  I have become quite enamoured by them (obviously not this kind of glass...the cheaper 'less expensive' kind  ;D), but  I came across this piece - it is quite amazing - amazing price as well  :thud:

That's just nuts.  What kind of money must a person have to spend that kind of money?   :thud:
