Dear Georges,
Joey is right because there are people who takes pictures in high resolution and straight post them without resizing. This means that we have to look at a bottle which is let say 60 mm high by means of an image that is bigger than the computer screen. It is almost the same as being forced to look at a bottle only by means of a microscope; annoying and not useful.
The best way to post pictures is to resize them to a size of about 800 pixels in the largest side, and a weight of no more than 100 kilobytes so to save precious space for the Forum.
Your new pictures are almost the same size of the previous ones, so it doesn’t change so much, but I think that most probably the first bottle too is printed. To be honest, two poor bottles that if were mine I will get rid of them.
I can’t read the mark on that bottle (Steven?) but for sure it is everything made in Transitional style. But then, if you ask me if it is Transitional or not, let me give you a politically correct answer: It is better to not comment a commercial site in public.
“And then Jesus said: Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”
Kind regards
Giovanni
