Title: 'Kinky' Hanky vase... ID = Chance
Post by: keith on March 20, 2015, 05:15:33 PM
Just a 4 inch cordon in green but has a bit of a kink in one of the 'folds' something I've not seen before, is this more common than I think ?  ;D ;D

Paul, thought the title might get more attention with the addition of 'kinky'  ;D ;D
Ivo, was hoping David would drop in, it's quite a common colour and shape but who knows ?  ::) ;D

David dropping in... busy with decorating ATM, so leaving emulsion splodges all over my keyboard  ;)

If you look at Chance Expressions, p.112, there are a couple examples featured there. As explained, and for everyone else's benefit, I speculated that these were probably rejected and sold off in the factory shop. They have a little quirkiness, but I wouldn't start placing extra value on them!  :D

Lime-green Cordon (as mentioned in my book, but "Mint" is probably a better description?) is quite uncommon, so it's still a good catch.
