Thanks George...Yeah tricky one after reading that thread. I still think it's layered lacquer - there is something very liquid like about parts of the bottle imo... going to have a look at it under the loupe tomorrow and will try and get a macro shot... I think there is a lot of evidence of carving marks particularly on the branches of the trees for instance, but who knows - maybe a mold... what's your thoughts or feeling?
