In spite of a strong field for July a shock last minute entry saw the award go to this fine example from Stephanie, a potter working in the Slocan Valley.
With hints of Harry Potter, but actually created before that phenomenon, this strong contender was an instant hit with judges, with a superb pouring action and weight in the hand.
Unfortunately the valuable prize may not be awarded as there has been an allegation of match fixing linked to the Chinese betting systems. A full enquiry is under way, and the investigation team will report back from their Parisian hotel in due course.
