Hi Rheuben,

A lot of similarities but some differences as well.

The sky diaper on your bottle is different, quite unusual and free, the catalogue bottle has a more traditional sky diaper. The water diaper on both is similar and 3 dimensional which is not so usual in that the waves sit up from each other, again it seems your bottle is bolder in it's waves.

Could be the same person riding the tiger on the catalogue bottle as catching ? the 3 legged toad on yours. Very similar faces. Liu Hai ?

I'd say the catalogue bottle is a little better carved, more detail and depth in the clothing and clouds and a bit sharper all round so I might question if they were carved by the same person.

Regards, Adrian.
