I just got mine in the post today, and sure enough it is a numbered edition of 50. Mine is stamped "Trader Vic's By Tiki Farm 2004 5/50". Was there a un-numbered edition dated 2003 and 2004?, and if so, why were these 50 limited, and what is the differance between these and the other 2003 and 2004 bowls? :-?

I emailed Holden to ask if he could shed a little light on these numbered bowls; here's what he had to say...

"Those were done early on in an individual batch per the request of Trader Vic's grandson, Peter Seely. As a result, the glazing is a little different then the more open edition versions - a bit lighter. Personally, I like them more as I prefer the subtle tonal changes vs. the richer spot colors that they called out. Not sure why they held onto them for so long and even in doing so, that they are offering them at what I feel is a very fair price..."
