I got it in red. It was sent to me in Berlin from Los Angeles. I had to go to the customs in Berlin, which added VAT on the price. It was not cheap. But I am happy to have it. As far as I know the Pompadour vases were produced in two different shapes, and the different shapes in different sizes (this one is 22.5 cm high, but it seems also to exist in 28 cm) and in different colors. As always it is difficult to get it in red.

A lovely red Pompadour looks great
Thanky you for the informations, kisslikeether. Thanks for the compliments, Bellin and vlkma!
A red one!!!! Yes, it's three models, one for candleholder in two sizes (22 and 28), one for a short wide-mouthed vase (around 20) and another model of vase in two sizes (again 22 and 28 -and I think there is a special and rare bigger version of this one, about 32/34 cm-).
The 28 cm vase I still have to get. I've got mine in boring olive green, clear and mazarine colours... BUT YOU'VE GOT IT IN RED!!!! LOL congratulations!
