Dear Edmund,

      I did not realise that you were the Edmund K. who has been a Singapore member of the ICSBS since 1986, although I see you've not been a member since 2004.

     I am sorry that your bottle has that crack. I was hoping it was soft paste, and that the crack was part of the typical surface cracking of soft paste porcelains. But it is still a beautiful example.
And I think there is nothing wrong with inking that is reversible.
My late mom of blessed memory, also could read the mahjong tiles! I've never figured out how this Chinese gambling game became a serious interest of middle class Jewish ladies in North America in the 1950s and 1960s!
But a bunch of them even brought it to Israel! My mom, after her arrival in Jerusalem in 1973, quickly found a Mahjong 'league' here, and played at least once or twice a week.  Grin

Best,
Joey
