Beautiful things deserve appreciation

Nice acquisition Cathy. Hornbill bottles are among the organic bottles I most desire. However, as much as I want to get one, I can't. That's due to import restrictions on endangered species. The same applies to ivory bottles... Anyway, the poem carved on the bottles seems to depict a scenery viewed from the top of a mountain. It's also carved that it's made during the reign of Xianfeng emperor which is like 150 odd years ago.
