Dear Tom,
it is an incredible bottle: I agree, "shibui".
How do you know that it is crystal? Only because of the absence of bubbles or are there some imperfections that we do not see in the pictures?
I wonder how they can perfectly smooth inside a so hard material until achieving the complete transparency, especially in the upper part of the inside, just on the shoulders. It is really incredible.
