A Chandelier of Tundishes

For many years I have been collecting glass funnels in various sizes and in various parts of France- some were expensive, some extremely cheap (they range in price from €40 to 50cent, irrelevant of size.

Shortly after I came out here I saw, in a French interiors magazine, someone had turned them upside down, wired them and was using two as lights over a dining table.
Impressed I took my collection (in fact only 11 were suitable) to my great friend and master of design Clive Nunn and asked him to come up with a light over my dining table using the funnels (which for some reason I have always called by their old-fashioned name as Tundish).

Clive arrived last week, having spent some time mulling over the problem, with the wonderful solution pictured above.
The Chandelier of Tundishes fits impeccably into the Presbytere, I couldn’t be more pleased and now think I must gather together more tundishes for the orders Clive is sure to get immediately !
