Found this piece at a local car boot sale. Unfortunately along with the usual nibbles on the inside at the top there is a small sliver gone on the outside, it doesn't affect the rim continuity and just by placing it facing away you can't see it.
Only I know it's there , but at the price it was just too nice not to take it home :)
I'll have to wait for a mint one to come up and replace it......yeah right!!
Overall height is 273mm, the lower round part is 100mm wide and the top which has a twist is 80mm wide.
Gorgeous iridescence, it's lovely
I agree, I almost walked away when I saw the chips but as often happens when you buy things at a car boot they are usually not the cleanest and after a good wash (esp the gunge in the base) I now wonder what initially made me hesitant.
Super cool find! I would have happily bought this one regardless of chips, as it's a decor I'm yet to get an example of. Sounds like a choice car boot sale!
very nice.... when flower are inside sure you will not see the chips.....
amazingly I just found the twin for this on Shawnl86's page! This one is in the USA.
