Description
Sally Tuffin actually created the first Fuschia design. It involved the use of red tube-lining which caused serious technical difficulties and could not be manufactured. So Hugh Edwards approached then new designer, Rachel Bishop, to redesign the vase. The result was an appealing stylised design with cascading blooms of pink and mauve against a deep green ground at top and base and light ochre ground in the centre.
