Hi Sven, I did look at both the original Bumatay and the Islander mug. I choose the later because very few collectors have see the original. We love the bowl whose foot you show.

Talking about vintage seahorses this is my bathroom.

You are absolutely right that I'm having a blast making all these sea creatures. Since there are four panels to a lamp each side will be different except for the Bumatay centerpiece. Well that's how I'd make it. Roge will make the lamp as desired by the buyer. That makes each one unique.

Here's what I made yesterday.
Angel fish

Float

Puffer

Just in case it might look good Roge asked for a tail fin for the Bumatay as shown here.

The hard part is not making undercuts so they can be molded. I've started an anchor! Cheers, Wendy
