Hi  All

STOP  PRESS  ! 

Forget  about  Hiawatha and    Minnehaha

This  is the  REAL   Mini -  HAHA !

Prelimnary  disection   has begun on my fake  bottle  using  a  long , sharp   needle

The   WHOLE  of the   inside of the  bottle  is  coated   with some  kind  of    plastic  film  , which is   what gives the  bottle  the   yellowish color   below the  neck

The  coating becomes  thicker  near the  girl's  picture, and  I  have  actually  carved  off   loose  flaps  which are  now hanging loosely inside the  bottle  above the  girl's  head  ( poor  girl....  next  I will  start  work on HER  !) 

If  George   can  analayze  the  bits  of  the    coating    chemically   that's  even  better,  but  my guess  is   that's  is  some  kind  of  poly-eurothene  spray   coating

The girl's   image   film  seems  to  have  been   stuck  down  first  ( using the   black  base and   balck  hair  hand  painting to cover  up  something)

Then another  layer  of  poly-urothene   was   sprayed  on to uniform the  whole  inside  bottle   surface.   

Finally  the    bamboo leaves and    "signature/ chop"    were  painted on top of the   final sprayed  layer

Certainly  I now  have a      real   smoking  gun !

Ms  Wang in SH  who sold   me the bottle   will have a   shock  when  I show   this  to  her  this   on thursday   afternoon  this  week !

I will  take some  pics  tomorrow to  reveal  the  sordid  truth  and post  them on the  Forum

I told  you  this  bottle  was   destined  for  dissection  and  DEATH  as  far as  my collection is  concerned

And   totally  coincidentally  ( and I do mean   TOTALLY  because  I  number  my bottles    strictly  sequentially  in the  order  in which I  buy  them )    this  bottle  is   number   "040" 

In Chinese  "0"  means  CERTAIN  and  "4"  means  DEATH   (so   4  is  THE  unluckiest number  in China. like  "13" cubed  in  the  west )

Await  more  news  anon........
