Hi Charll,

Both these bottles are 1980s-1990s in my opinion. The detailing of the chilongs on the second one, as well as that intense blue hue, are almost exactly the same as one of my modern ones. 

I totally agree with your logic for buying modern equivalents where the old examples are beyond reach price-wise. I did exactly the same with overlay glass bottles. The only problem is that at least 50% of them began to crizzle 3-4 years after I bought them.

Interestingly, when I met up with Inn Bok in Bangkok a couple of weeks ago he mentioned the same problem, and had an intriguing explanation for it. But I won't steal his thunder - better let him tell the story.

Hope you haven't had the same experience with your modern glass bottles.
