[Pat - 查尚杰]

Dont know about the rest of you, but:

1) this is shocking because it means this can be done with ANY picture to make ANY bottle, it just makes me realize
2) makes me want to take the highest possible magnifying device along to closely examine ANY new painted bottle
3) reinforces the thread long gone somewhere here where we talked about provenance/authentication/certificate
4) highlights the need to
           a) expose the people selling this type of bottle and force them to tell the truth to prospective buyers
           b) avoid ANY resource, from wherever, internet, or in my case and Peter's, dealers() who refuse to come clean about these types of bottles.

5) We need to identify how and where these bottles are made. 

Just as I was being converted into modern IPSBs, this happens.  To be honest, I prefer real painted copies/fakes/replicas of older bottles than this ..

It is shocking to me that dealers that I trusted have conned me into buying several examples of these without ever disclosing the truth to me.  Makes me lose faith in those people completely.  It seems Peter was conned once, but I was conned multiple times by different folks.

Mark it as part of the learning curve, but it really is dissappointing nevertheless.
