Pat,
  What was that you wrote in another thread about us going on too much about age?  Wink

I have 5-6 of these that are/were made in the 80s/90s.  I agree that the carving work is totally different (and better) than the older ones.  However, I just can not get myself to like them more than antique ones.  In a way, it is true with IP as well, that the painting skills have also evolved so much. However, I like the idea that a bottle has been touched, loved, held, and stood the tests of time (or not, in some cases, as with some of my bottles).

I rest my case,  Grin
Shabbat Shalom,

Joey
