Many thanks Della, Lynne, Anne and Christine. It's good of you to comment and I'd like you to know how much I appreciate it.
I'd be grateful for any thoughts on what the shape / function of the Bremen item is (shown in the final photo...well "final" for now as I will be adding many more next week, I hope). Would you call it a vase or a jardiniere? It isn't a shape that I have seen in the Brockwitz catalogs, and I wondered what others thought it would be classed as.
