This particular shape is one that we have not seen lately. Similar to others, but not with the wide mouth. Very nicely done. Great finish. How do you twist a finial?

Just beautiful! I'd be willing to bet that drilling,filing and sanding the finial took as long or longer the the vessel!

Thanks for your comments!
The outline Form of the Final is turned (pear Form). Then its drilled, filed and sanded to the final form. The final takes same or more time that turning of the base Sad
