Dear Adrian,

      Been there, done that, got the t-shirt!  Grin Roll Eyes Wink   We had a thread way back, when Tom posted modern Mongolian bottles with those very long stoppers, and I said that the whole bottle looked like that !  Shocked Wink
I think we sort of agreed that it was because they have long fingernails, or something.
Best,
Joey


  The tall stoppers might be a sort of phallic symbol !

Regards, Adrian.
