Guys, in an Aquamarine, EVERYONE loves the plain side! After all, the colour is the main thing in a good piece of Aquamarine.  Roll Eyes
But the carving is not bad on the other side...
Best,
Joey

As most of you know, I'm an advocate of plain understated bottles. But on this occasion it looks like I might be in the minority........I like the carved side! As Joey says, the carving is not bad. And it's theme is a favourite classic - Meng Haoran searching for plum blossom in the snow.

Dear Tom,

There are a few possibilities to this topic as I have heard of Huang ChenYan or ZhuGe Liang. Though Meng HaoRan has more votes.

Cheers,

Hi YT,

Yes, there was once a lengthy article in JICSBS, where all 3 candidates were reviewed and discussed.

As you say, Meng Haoran gets the most votes.
