Thanks, Rita

Quite poetic Ed! (apart from the red boobs) Laughter
I don't think it's a bad idea at all. I was suspecting it could be chinese, but at the same time it has a mid-century look...

It's in fact a very dark brown, not black.
What made me suspect it was chinese, apart from the base, was the weight. It's very light.

The Chinese will copy anything for the market and they are good at it as well.

Naomi, I have to agree with the boys.
I think you would too, if you could see it live and feel its weight.
