Dear George,
I am sorry if I give you a false reason for worrying; I should have kept my mouth close by the simple fact that Charll has a similar bottle, and he knows what he does. Nevertheless, still after having seen Charll and Bob Steven bottles, if I will stumble on a bottle of this type I will not but. I don’t like them. You can see in Joey’s “Dragon” book that there are no bottles with that style of decoration, and it is hard to find one; I have never seen before. What I don’t like is the lifeless, almost monotone blue, and the style of drawing, really far from the good quality b&w bottles. Look for example at the horses, quite childish, and the “rigidity” of the dresses, they are not fluent.
Kind regards
Giovanni
