Hello Inn Bok,

Incredible modern craftsmanship from them working together (if they did).

Thank you for the additional photos, they are fine. Glass is so hard to take a photo of.

The cow herder is unnecessary and floats, in my opinion. I do enjoy the other 2 sides a lot.

Thank you for showing me another way to think of real/authentic/真. I need to consider this kind of real after I collect a small (3-9) first set of "of the period real". I want to have something that links to my roots and upbringing. I do not think I can feel this "link" with an item that I know or suspect is modern day work post 1920s.

It will be nice to have a small set of nice modern day bottle for everyday use, as a latter addition.

The bottle ground's texture/color looks so nice. Just like a couple shown in Steven's book.

Thank you and Best Regards,
David
