Interested to hear who you bought the bottles off and to see your other recent purchases Cathy! A very interesting bottle you posted on facebook today...

George - I've noticed with other bottles of this type that the faceting is often sharper(especially on examples that i've looked at that claim to be imperial), but Giovanni stated that he does not believe this is any indication of age or I guess quality. It guess it may just be an artistic decision by the maker who decides how deep and sharp the faceting should be. I have read that if the Qianlong reign mark here is genuine and of the period this could well be an imperial bottle? What do you think? Would be interesting to hear other opinions on this...
