Dear Giovanni,

Me bad, my message may have given you an impression that I've misunderstood your point. Sorry for bringing things little too far. No offence. As we Chinese say, 以和為貴 - harmony is precious.

Back to the discussion. Yes I understood that you're referring to the carvings. I saw the difference between the samples you showed and mine in terms of carvings, as I've pointed out earlier. As far as I'm concerned, under comparison, it's even more obvious that mine is a Yangzhou bottle. What I mean is that the attributes and characteristics of a Yangzhou overlay stand out even more (regardless of which is "higher" in quality).

I didn't mean to say that you brought out those samples as a standard of Yangzhou style, it's just an extra point I minded to raise from my observation of the pictures.

Hope I've made myself clear.

Best wishes,
Samson
