David,

To continue .....

Each of us has our own taste and our lenses to look at an object of art and craft. Also, our individual yardstick for ' excellence ' varies. Yes, looking at finer ones in the collection of fellow collectors will definitely lift up our own standards of ' aesthetics yardstick ', however, as Joey mentioned in his post, the last decision hurdle is whether I have the means and prepared to part with it for the that lovely little bottle ( especially in todays market for excellent snuff bottles ).

So one begins with his own level of 真精美,and upgrade as one moves on the journey of collection. The main thing is that I must enjoy holding that bottle in my hand or being destressed when I look at it and fonder it !!

Here is another piece of overlay bottle for sharing ( 55mm x 23mm ).
