Dear all,
what drive me crazy in high end Chinese objects are some subtle details, often very subtle, which give to the object an unparalled elegance. Note for example in Richard's bottle some details at the bottom, which I am highlighting here below. I am referring to the squared corners of the hollowing, see green arrows, and in particular to the fact that the inner and outer bottoms has the same curve, see red arrows. A pleasure to the eyes.
