Thanks for the opinions folks - much appreciated!

Dear YT,

Yes, I didn't know for sure, but thought it would be common for bottles to be stamped, but maybe not the case with WB as some marks looked carved in or the stamp is different and without the border we see here. After looking at this one for a while I suspected it was a copy, but still a nice bottle and maybe old. I've also read that WB's porcelains are widely faked/copied.

Dear Joey,

Yep, I didn't bid on this one - was thinking about it at one stage, but decided against after a little research. Is good that you guys are confirming my suspicions. Thanks  Smiley

Here are some real bottles for comparison or in case anyone is interested. The quality here is definitely on another level... as far as I can tell you would expect to pay £15-20,000 for an authentic bottle like this...
