I really like the pyro work and it adds so much, especially to the tall vases, the shape of which I'm not too fussed about....so it's the  11" vase that works best for me.

The taller vases remind me of church candles and somehow the pyro resembles the thorns from the crown. We have a stained glass in our church which depicts a cross with thorns draped over it and these are of a similar vein.

     Thanks Les.... The bottom one is more the shape I like as well.

     Thanks Steve ... They will be on display in a church over the weekend so they should blend in quite nicely.
     Regards Tony

Hi Tony,
Very nice vases, I prefer the pyro ones rather than the plain ones and of the two the last one I like best.
Regards Ken

  Appreciated Ken.... Had a bit of trouble posting these , so on the 3rd attempt I forgot and missed out completely
   the  explanation of the white ones , they are the reverse side of the pyro ones to show the bleach, totally my fault.
   Will agree with you I like the last one.
   Kind Regards Tony

I really like the form of the last one and the pyrotechnics really set it apart

  my favourite.

Totally different, but I do like a set of 3, forming a triptych.
