Hi Joey

I could imagine  collecting  CR-era  bottles  as  kind  of  "collector thing"  but I would never  want to display  any  such  bottles  in my  home,  just because they are so  UGLY.

But then,  life in those  times  in China was  so  UGLY ,  so perhaps  there  is  some  inner  beauty (inner  hidden message  /  cry-for-help  ? /  message-in-a-bottle?? ) somewhere  deep inside those  CR  bottles

In which case  I  would  collect them,  and  treasure them, and  display them -  for a purpose

Cheers
Peter
