Dear Jo,

Welcome to the forum. I will have been collecting one year next month, and have bought some real bombs. Its just part of the learning process. I learn more from my mistakes than my victories, which makes me less likely to repeat them. 

I hope you buy some books - a great starting place is Lilla Perry's book - which you can pick up used for $6.65 - about the same price as a Mocha Frappuccino from Starbucks and much more satisfying. https://www.amazon.com/Chinese-snuff-bottles-Lilla-Perry/dp/B0007DO1LO
