And yet again I was the under bidder!  :'( hate you Mr Millar :P

How am I supposed to buy anything when you keep outbidding me!!!

It is gorgeous though and rather rare. Did Chris collect it for you?

Yes, but Gary's just greedy   :P ;D

On a more serious note - has anyone seen this shape before in "the flesh"?

Love the colour-way  - does your lamp also have the bubbles?

Did see it for sale and thought about bidding.

Yes, I suspected it would be - most Monart is!
I wish I'd gone a bit higher now, but Mr Millar would still only have outbid me :(

Thought that was a base shot (and thought it very odd!) doh.

I just wondered if it was camera angles making the rim look less flared.
