Dear Steven,

I don't have the bottle in my possession yet so unfortunately only have fuzzy photos at the moment.

I was hoping it might be the Tang Collection bottle, but that's obviously not the case.
After putting them side by side, I like mine better than the Tang one. It appears (to my eyes) to be a much better copy of the original - it seems to have more fluidity.

I think it's hard to tell anything with the image of the bottle so pixelated.
So I will post photos when it gets here.
