But this must be rare? Just amazing design.
Gobsmacked!
This is incredibly beautiful...wonderful design, so well executed.
Yes, surely this is rare?
Probably not common but I don't know about rare. It is a numbered design (586) so some were made, not unique - not sure how many. I also don't know if these were made for export or if this one somehow found its way here to the USA.
Thanks Phil, I love the design too
How very beautiful...just love it!...:-)
