A really interesting discussion and display of bottles from two artists unknown to me, thanks to Steven and Steve.

I'm intrigued by Steve's comment that the Singapore collectors were 'mild' towards these bottles and artists, and I can understand why. When I was collecting in the late 90's, my opinion of a bottle was very much based on the precision of painting as well as the subject, as I guess theirs was too. It is only now, and mostly through this website, that I am starting to appreciate other things (although only slowly), and can understand why some collectors go for this type of bottle.

The website proves it's value again. And I'm proud to have a part to play - Peter started the discussion through reference to a bottle of mine which I didn't even like (at the time). Such is the power of this website.
