Rose,
I shall do a little more searching around Tiffin, thank-you.
Dirk,
Thank-you for the link to your carnival example it is rather attractive. I was drawn to the vase initially because of its colour and rather elegant form, once I picked it up I was impressed by its weight and its lovely soft suede-like feel.
The more I look at it the more I can feel a little satin black obsession coming on.....
Cheers
