Thank-you, Gary.

It's beautiful, such a gorgeous tactile shape, I want to feel it in my hands, the roundness filling my palms, the weight feeling good, and I want to stick my hand in it, to grab a handful of whatever is in it...

It wouldn't be bath salts though. Smelly stuff.

Petits fours, Belgian chocolate truffles, pistachio nuts...

Too small for petits four or truffles, wouldn't be able to get enough in there. But I love the idea of nuts or maybe small hard candies?

I like the idea of it filled with chocolate truffles, but I would have to throw away the lid as it would be obsolete as it would only slow me down getting into the truffles.

A few pictures for you Bernard, these are my 3 Monart shades in situ.

Gary — Lovely shades, thanks.    I wasn't expecting three!   I use the Maestro Plug-in Ceiling Rose system, see here, as it takes about ten seconds to take everything down for cleaning or decorating, and it also allows us to move light fittings around.   Installation is dead easy with captive screw terminals for live-in, live-out, and switch cables.   The disadvantages are that you have either no hook or just one hook, and it has a fitment weight limit specification of 5kg.   I will post a photograph of my interesting Holophane spaceship in situ some time.
