I have heard that bottles that have the same design on both sides are not worth collecting....is this true?

Hi Brenda,

In most of case, you are right, especially when we talk about inside painting. but for some pattern design, it might not be the case.

Attached please find a example, the symmetry is the beauty of the design, in most of case, both side design should be same.

Steven

Hi Brenda,

Steven is right. It all depends on what type of bottle, and what kind of decoration is on it.
