Title: Glass Bottle with Scholars and Bird Post by: bokaba on December 14, 2016, 11:21:01 pm Dear members,
I noticed this bottle generated some interest on eBay (auction is now over). The seller claimed it was chalcedony and late 19th/early 20th Century, but it looks like opaque glass to me. Can't comment on the age though. Anything of interest here? Thank you, Brian Title: Re: Glass Bottle with Scholars and Bird Post by: Pat - 查尚杰 on December 14, 2016, 11:38:45 pm It is chalcedony but the shape suggests it is a new(er) bottle, and probably machine carved and hollowed.
Title: Re: Glass Bottle with Scholars and Bird Post by: George on December 15, 2016, 01:58:56 am I agree with what Pat said ..

Pin Title: Re: Glass Bottle with Scholars and Bird Post by: Joey Silver / Si Zhouyi 義周司 on December 15, 2016, 08:08:10 am Based on the first two views, I'd have said glass or even Jade.
But based on the last view, I must say I agree with Pat, but also with Pin. It IS nicely done. Best to all, Joey |
