  1. This is a stunning piece!

    Guy Sydenham taught my mum at Poole Art College in the early 60's! I love the items from this period simple yet so powerful in the design concept. As a collector myself-I look forward to browsing your site.

  2. I have the exact vase you have pictured! Same colors exactly. I have an older home and it fits with the decor wonderfully. Do you have any idea of the value of it?
