Hi All

I  know the  WXS  "red lantern"  bottle.  (Maybe there  was  more than  one  such)

 I  once saw  it pre-auction  in HK at Bonhams :  ugly painting (actually  beautifully  painted, but  ugly  theme)   but  still  "historic"

I can imagine, as  Pat said, that   some day  soon  CR  bottles   will go through the   roof.

I agree  they  have a  dark  and  tragic   background, and  my bookshelves  are  full  of  books  about the  CR (and  my  Kindle  is  even  fuller)

But they  are  still  horribly  UGLY (themes)

Cheers
Peter
