Thanks everybody! All comments gratefully received. (Thomas: I am still messing
about with the vase but, like everything else I do, tinkering never seems to
improve anything.)

I am not sure a background light would work (but I shall give it a go, though)
and it was intended that the wings should fade a little. There are two area
lights in play, one red and one light blue. The light blue is in the
(shadowless) torso and the red at the mouth of the vase. Four pigments (aoi)
make up the body and are arranged spherically from the mouth of the vase.

I also tried varying the stone, (pillars, edging, flags, etc) but I didn't like
the outcome.

Cheers,

Simon.
