Beautiful things deserve appreciation

Dear all,

Thank you very much! I'm glad that my pictures have managed to showcase the charm of the bottle and its impressive carvings! I purposely did it with black background to make the whiteness of the nephrite stand out. In the forth picture, I deliberately moved the light away from the center of the bottle to reduce the exposure in an attempt to give it a museum exhibition feel which I really like.

This bottle just looks different when being captured from various angles. Every shot is kinda unique in some way. I look forward to some new discoveries the next time I'll photograph it! Wink

And it's great to know that it has an ASTOUNDING provenance! Shocked

It's such a fulfillment for me to have it in my collection!

Best to all,
Samson
