Hughie,

glad to see you did hold it together for another classic Hughie form.

Does the inset collar hold the form together or is it purely decorative?

Hi Hughie....this the one that we've all been waiting for! It's great to see that it held together and has repaid you for all the work that you put into it.

It started out as decor and as I went on it came blindingly apparent it was going to doing a lot more ... :)

Brilliant piece as always Hughie, like the form and it remained in one piece.
