A note from Sharon on Tuesday 27th February 2007
This is the bowl I wanted before
It did not sell - and it has now been relisted
At a cheaper starting price!!
I would like to have a pair - one pink and one green
Do you wanna try for me??
A note from Geoff on Wednesday 28th February 2007
Yep, I had a try - placed a bid for $15.00
This is what we paid for the green one above
But no luck this time - outbid!!

Bugger!!
Thanks for trying!!

Grindley Peach Petal Bowl
Here we have a very nice Grindley Peach Petal bowl
The colour is pink
It has minor scratches on inside bottom of bowl,
and this would be due to normal wear
They are not too noticeable though
There is also a very tiny flake on the back
The bowl measures 23cm x 21cm
I am sorry for 'flash lights' in the photos
