Hi Rube,

Great looking bottle... I love the jade stopper - definitely wouldn't swap it out. I know many of the more exotic materials correlate with later bottles... I thought initially the bottle is probably 19th or early 20th... regardless a really nice bottle imo...

PS: when you mention the hollowing is not great - is it still reasonably hollowed inside? How heavy is the bottle?
