Really? i mean... really????

I came across a wonderful (yes, wonderful) vase by Bishop & Stonier - the like of which i have never seen before.  Ok, so it's rare, it's attractive and it's B&S.  It's also in Australia.  But would i really pay $1200au for it? I think not.  Although I would of course like to think there were pieces in my collection worth that kind of money, despite Homes & Antiques magazine predicting a return to favour for Victoriana, I just can't see B&S making a figure like this just yet....yet....  but perhaps the market is more bouyant in Oz?
