Thank you Pat! They are delightful! I do hope that you are able to get one. Perhaps by the time I'm ready to start letting go of some bottles the restrictions on the older works of art will make it easier for collectors out of the country.  If it does, I will keep you first in mind.
In the meantime, I have acquisition syndrome.

Would really like your opinions on this bottle that popped up on ebay while we were talking about ivory:

The bottle shape is different, but the theme is similar to #0.4 in the Marquess of Exeter and #98 in The Blair Bequest.
