Hi Stu, I'm sure Ivo and nobody else read your message the second way! :kissy: It's easy to feel picked on in online forums (I know, I've been there), but I don't think anyone is picking on you.
These d'Arques pieces are some of the most common ID requests we get here on the GMB--in fact, I wouldn't mind betting that they are the most common.Over the years, poor old Ivo has had to give bad news to huge amounts of people who'd hoped that they'd found something special. The vases are actually quite attractive, IMHO.
