Dear YT,

With 2 more expert blessings, congrats! I am glad for you that it is an early old ones, and rare to see at auction.

I will file away that mental image, and think more on why there is a concentration on one edge of the wire. And one day when I get to see some bottle or antique up close, I will take a very careful look on the interface of the shading.

I wonder if the shading is done with 2 materials or if it is 1 material with pigments, and if it is shaded all the way down or just a thin surface layer. Can you tell on your bottle?

Happy Regards,
David
