Thanks Toni-Lee for sharing!

That is a really nice bottle. the red color really stands out. The craving is well done as well.

-Albert,

You are right, there are quite a lot different grades glass bottles on the market. some are superb while some are tourist bottles. Some are 18th, while some are just out of factories. You might have to train your eyes by looking at good and old bottles. There is no one sentence tip to make magic to be an expert in one day.

There are a few of characters or factors you might need to pay attention on the details, like the size of the bottles, the shapes, the colors, how its craved, motifs, how its polished, how is the mouth rim and base rim executed. attached pls find a couple of modern examples of the same motif bottles as Toni's bottle, what can you tell the difference between the bottles? If you can find the difference, after training your eyes more, you should be able to find out gem out of all the bottles.


Best,

Steven
