<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 3693841, member: 7360"]Thank you! I am familiar with the silver shape in porcelain tea ware, but it never struck me that this could be called that, although now I can easily picture it made in silver, that seems the perfect description, and I've just found a few oval pedestal silver salts online, although none with a similar diamond shaped base. I once put a tea canister online, describing it as "silver shape", which also turned out to be pearlware. Several American forum members were baffled, they had never heard the term before. I don't know what they call the shape in America, perhaps they don't have many examples, and of course not all shapes have a name.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
