Title: 2 IP Bottles Post by: bokaba on October 02, 2016, 02:27:46 pm Dear Members,
Here are a couple of bottles I was thinking about purchasing. Anything of interest or late 20th Century tourist bottles? Thank you, Brian Title: Re: 2 IP Bottles Post by: Joey Silver / Si Zhouyi 義周司 on October 02, 2016, 05:30:06 pm Dear Brian,
I like the second, not the first. I think it is Shandong School. But I'm notorious for not being able to judge from the internet. Steven, Charll, etc., are much better. Best, Joey Title: Re: 2 IP Bottles Post by: George on October 02, 2016, 10:22:10 pm The second is a little better, but neither are anything special, and the second is not Shandong..

Thank you. I'm so bad with Shandong, because I don't collect them. So what is the second bottle? Just a tourist souvenir quality example like the first one? Best, Shana Tova, Joey Title: Re: 2 IP Bottles Post by: George on October 03, 2016, 09:55:13 am So what is the second bottle? Just a tourist souvenir quality example like the first one? I think the second one is a bit nicer than tourist grade, but not by a whole lot. Title: Re: 2 IP Bottles Post by: bokaba on October 11, 2016, 10:50:44 pm I was able to get the first bottle for a few dollars, so I went for it.

If a few if dollars can make you joyful, then that is all about the collecting. I have been that stage before, but those bottles are somewhere in my garage now. I bet that you will be more joyful when you acquire some better bottles. But REALLY important, train your eye more before paying big on anything expensive. try to look more chinese art, maybe not snuff bottle, any art form would be good, I bet you can find some better bottles fit your budget in the future, I still have a few of bottles which I bought with a couple beers' budget, I still appreciate them now. Happy hunting! Steven Title: Re: 2 IP Bottles Post by: Wattana on October 14, 2016, 04:44:12 am I have been that stage before, but those bottles are somewhere in my garage now. Hi Steven, I too have bottles somewhere in my garage. Maybe we should organize a forum 'garage sale'..... ;D Tom Title: Re: 2 IP Bottles Post by: Steven on October 14, 2016, 11:56:15 am Maybe we should organize a forum 'garage sale'..... ;D Tom Good idea Tom!! Maybe George can help to set up a garage sale section, so we can put them on, all the funds can be donated to the Forum! Steven Title: Re: 2 IP Bottles Post by: George on October 14, 2016, 12:49:44 pm I gave all of my odd ball bottles to family and friends.. Just to try and spark some interests.. One friend has ended up actually taking an interest in snuff bottles as a result.. And has added several nice bottles to his collection ever since.. So they did not go to complete waste :)

Good idea Steven! The bottles could kick-start interest by some new collectors...and help the Forum. A win-win situation !!! Tom |
