Dear John,

    Is this appliqué glass with applied threading to form the
stems?
I've one like this I bought from Susan Page in 2018 or 2019.
Very nice. I'm assuming that they are ca. 1830 - 1890.
Best,
Joey

Joey, Happy St. Patrick's Day to you also. This next bottle [55mm] I have seen several examples of. All are on the white glass body.

Oh, John, the same provenance as my Chalcedony.
'Smuggled out' of Shanghai in 1941.
Interesting that you needed different coloured backgrounds
to properly show the carving.
Happy Patrick's Day [as my neighbours say in County Wexford]
Best,
Joey

This next Yangzhou example [55mm] I had to shoot on different color backgrounds to see the decoration. From the Collection of Albert and Eva Dunlap authors of "Behind the Bamboo Curtin".

Good carving, but the colour looks odd to me, John.

Giovanni, my typing is bad. Joey, I agree with that dating. This probably later example [56mm] features the 8 Buddhist Symbols.

Dear Richard,

   As I wrote to you, if you only correct the "Table of Contents" page
and add one short sentence below the material, and correct 2
errors, one on p.7 and the other on p.33, there is no need
to reprint the whole 39 page book.
I'm amazed that you had so few errors.
I could fill a page with the errors in "Worlds In A Bottle"!
Best,
Joey
