Tom,

You sure have two beauties !

Between the two, I like the second piece which is not so thick. also, the overall flow of the body line in the second piece is just outstanding. the transition from the neck to the shoulder and the body displays an excellent craftsmanship. I am still waiting for my LL-bottle.

in the first piece, upon enlarging the picture, am I right that the rim around the mouth has some very minor chips ? And is the mouth having a bit of chamfering on one side ?

Are the inclusions in both pieces mainly pyrites ? They are more evenly spread out in the second piece posted by you.

Congratulations Tom and thanks for sharing.
