Dear YT,

    Which of the Zodiacal Animals is missing from your bottle?

Dear Joey,

Yes I have to agree with Tom B.'s comment. Experience is built up and your two options are valid. Thank you.

It is very possible that I missed out on one animal. I have read somewhere about painters deliberately camouflaging the animals in zodiac Blue and White bottles, need to remember where.
I will look at it later.

Dear Giovanni,

Thank you for the example. My bottle has a not-so-well painted rat in the base too.

Cheers,
YT
