Thanks Joey and George.

I agree with Joey that both the original scrolls and the bottles are superb - but the bottles are rather easier to hold and display.

Yes George, I've been through the Google route - at least I thought I had, but a look through your reference gave me another section of Scroll One - here



This appears in my bottles as bottle numbers twelve and nine, in that order - which shows again that both Lu Jianguang and I have got them in the wrong order.

It's interesting to compare the Kangxi figure in the original scroll and Lu Jianguang's bottle - here



The whole Kangxi figure including horse in Lu Jianguang's bottle is less than 10mm tall.

Actually I was hoping there was a reference book or something out there which had photos of the whole scroll. Clearly someone has found photos from somewhere (Lu Jianguang himself I guess) - but where?

Anyway, I've now covered five out of twelve bottle sides so that's progress.

Geoff
