No real age to this, in my opinion.
Clear mark to the base, but cannot pin it down.
Any help with ID appreciated, thank you.

That wouldn't surprise me Naomi, it does feel quite recent. Nice enough thing, but destined to go in a boxed lot at auction. Just checking it wasn't a good obvious name.

That one's getting pulled from the boxed lot. Just seen what some of her pieces can sell for. Phew, that was close.
Thanks again MC 😁

Lovely way to describe her work, that sums the bottle up nicely to be fair.
I'll be hot footing it to the auction on Monday to retrieve.
