Dear Tom,
very nice bottle. I am surprised in hearing that these are not just moulded, but they are carved too. I never thought that, because if carved the surface of the carved points should look completely different from the rest, since the skin has gone with the carving. Are you sure that they are carved?
Kind regards
Giovanni
