Oh, and I meant to ask about coral. It seems like the coral bottles in the really good collections are all very carefully carved and shaped into bottle shapes. There seems to be a lot of dyed red coral left in it's natural state (meaning looking like a coral branch) and I'm wondering if that is all newer carvings or if there were older ones done that way.

thanks!
