Hi Givoanni,

I think the bottle is questionable, its a modern bottle for sure, but the question is if its a real lacquer bottle, since I know there is still have the craftman making the modern real lacquer bottle by using the traditional technique.

It certainly looks much better than the other fake ones out on the Market, but I am not sure if its real.

2 reasons, 1st of all the wave lines on the back is way smooth and way accurate, I mean not a single mistake made,. that is a sign for the fake ones.
2nd, we should can see the layers somewhere sepcially for the chipped area, since some of finished surface can be polished, then we can't see the layers.

I can be wrong, but that is my 2 cents.
