Imperial Fieldflower Purple Tumbler
Description
Here is my beautiful Fieldflower tumbler which I was lucky enough to win in the Poucher Collection Seeck Auction in September 2014, at Kansas City.
Early in my collecting I had missed out on an impressive Imperial Blue piece because I didn't know what it was. I hadn't specifically earmarked any pieces in the auction and after picking a few to bid on at the early viewing I was quite happy.
A little later I went back for a second look and saw this wonderful tumbler and decided I was having it. The colour was outstanding and I just couldn't turn down the opportunity. I didn't know at the time how scarce they were.
When I won the bidding I let out a loud whoop which brought a remark from Jim which made me smile. I was so happy to have won. So here it is in all it's glory with the colours bouncing off.
