Hi George,

Well.... if you  ever visit  China  I am sure that besides   going to Hengshui we could arrange to visit  couple of IPB factories !

I don't have contacts  in the stone carving field, but I know people who do  have contacts

BTW:  Bill  Patrick has a  DVD  on how IP bottles are carved / bored out . You can   approach  Bill to buy  a copy.
         However, the boring out  process is horribly dirty and messy, with glass or crystal dust flying everywhere.
         That's  not a  job I would like, but it  makes one  appreciate  how much  work  goes  into  an IPB
         even before it gets  into the  hands  of an  artist.
