Beautiful things deserve appreciation

Dear all,

Thank you very much! I'm glad that you all like it!

Dear Joey,

I see what you all mean with the collar, kinda like an odd one out in the whole combination, but it does look interesting although it may not be aesthetically appealing. I hesitate to modify it at the moment as I fear I may cause damage to it. So I'll just leave it like that until I manage to find something that matches better... Roll Eyes

Dear Tom and Pat,

I'm adding pics showing its mouth, and its height next to a ruler. It's a tiny bottle that can be securely held in the center of the palm. Wink

Dear Charll,

Your bottles are gorgeous too! This one http://snuffbottle.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,2475.msg32517.html#msg32517
is just like an identical twin of mine! Shocked
That smoky crystal cluster should be an exhibit in a rock and mineral museum! Smiley

Dear Peter,

Sure, let me show it to you when we meet. There're indeed lots of attractive pieces among material bottles as well. After all, I'm after objects of all kinds and forms that give aesthetic pleasure... no intention to "damage" your collecting habits though... Roll Eyes

That red overlay bottle you bought was really a good buy, beautiful and unique!

Best to all,
Samson
