Dear George,

     So what?
    Guess how many people are in China, George? Guess how many of them are trying to be 'experts' and 'dealers' in Chinese Art? Now, guess how many of them understand 'f**k all about snuff bottles?
Sorry, me bad. Shocked Roll Eyes Grin

    Numbers of ignorant morons don't impress me.  Roll Eyes Wink
    If you said that Clare Chu, and Laurence Souksi and Hugh Moss, and Marsha Vargas Handley, among the dealers; and a number of expert collectors who I won't name for privacy reasons, were bidding, I'd wonder why I wasn't bidding.

    It is the group of 30-50 Mainland Chinese 'dealers' bidding up the 50+ Amber snuff bottles in Paris at the Servier auction in Dec.2015, all over again.
   
    And even if it is signed Erzhong, doesn't make it Erzhong, Cathy. A few years ago, a relative of mine wore white at her wedding; didn't make her a virgin... Roll Eyes Shocked Grin

    Best to all,
Joey

Dear George,

     But who are the bidders, and how good is their knowledge?
Joey

Can't say... But the interesting part is that there were so many bidders bidding against each other.
