I do not really care for the pointed shape to the sides of these bottles, but I do like the paintings.. Nothing spectacular, and I want to use words like rustic, or archaic to describe the painting style and color palette for lack of knowing a correct term.. Plus it was nice to purchase these as a pair..
On a side note.. The bottles already shared that were purchased via the Nephew selling his Uncles collection all have rather unusual/unique mineral selections for the stoppers..
Several have red chalcedony with black inclussions, and hints of Hematite.. Unkown to me..
One of the bottles below has a stopper made from a rather rare, and fairly new to market version Australian Tiger Eye.. It is from a mine that is close to some of the mines where regular Tiger Eye, and Tiger Irons comes from, but is extra chatoyant with iridescent patterns from Golden Tiger Eye, Hematite, and Red Jasper I received some of the very first rough available just a few short years ago when it first became available.. It is a bit rare..
A couple of bottles from the same group that I have yet to post have stoppers made from and Imperial Jasper..
Perhaps it is just because I have little exposure to Modern or Very Modern bottles, but I have never seen these interesting minerals used as stoppers before..
