Dear Tom,
    I see your point. Good we do this as a hobby, and not for a living.  Grin   Wink
Best,
  Joey

Dear Charll,

    Would you believe I was just checking flights to see if I could swing by Ireland on my way to my nephew's wedding in mid-January (Mid-January! In Toronto! I feel cold just thinking of it! And I HATE cold!) so I could do a similar comparison to yours, with my bottles which have a similar base?
    Your idea was genius!

    I went through my catalogue, and only found 5 bottles where that base is described (#3, 4, 6, 9, 17), but possibly #16 and others also have this distinctive base, and Robert forgot to mention it. 
    For some reason I only associated it with the dragon pillar bottles, but when you asked me to look at a bottle from the Ault collection in the Wooley & Wallis Auction house in Salisbury, which was to be sold there the week after my visit (sale was 12/13.Nov.), it had the same unglazed base with concentric circles, but a human figure subject, not dragons.
   
Best,
 Joey
