Very good!!!

I've been looking for pieces from this range for years - never come across any (other than eBay). I recently saw a chipped Toadstools saucer sell for nearly £50 ...

Certain designs and shapes do - this one is a double whammy - a very rare Jessie Tait design on a desirable shape (Fashion). Some of her vases fetch quite serious sums too.
