OK, What Is It?

and where is it? look carefully and you will find it is a bath tub, where is it is a bit more difficult, it is in Harrods, the unique bathtub will be on display in the main window at Harrods, so what is so special about it? well it is carved from a single enormous block of the purest white rock crystal, quarried in the Amazon region of Brazil, the original was shown at Salone del Mobile in 2008 and immediately snapped up by a Russian magnate, but the tub featured in the Harrods window is by no means a replica of the first, each is unique, both were sculpted with diamond cuts and left partially rough to expose the natural beauty of the crystal, next question, if I bought it where should it go? on my new yacht perhaps, but at £530,000 I think I will leave it where it is! the one-of-a-kind bathtub will be on show at Harrods in Knightsbridge until the end of July.
