Hi George,

Could you elaborate further on what "formalized waves" are? Anhua (暗花) in Chinese literally means hidden pattern.. Smiley

Best,
Samson

The word formalized waves is used for #242 within The Art of Chinese Snuff Bottles, by Moss, Graham, Tang..  I do not know the difference as to why the word formalized instead of anhua was used for this bottle.. That is why I ask...  I guess for this bottle the waves are not "hidden", but more dramatic/pronounced or "formalized" ?
