Very elegant, Anthony. If I do one I'll have to call it "whatever's on a three for £12 at Tesco" after my favourite tipple :)

Anthony, one very beautiful piece, excellently done, like Andy, if I were to make the same, it may not be right called Hobgoblin or Speckled Hen..    ??? ...    ;D ...

Hi guys, many thanks for the comments. Petjeffery, the stem is turned very carefully, with a 1/4" round scew (Gary Rance). The only time they break is when demonstrating which is not very often. The only other problem is when you've had too much Shiraz!
Regards Tony

Hi Tony

I like this very much - and I like the idea of having a different stem to the bowl.

I shall be having a go - something else for my list!

Cheers Dave
