Dear Adrian,
 
    I never noticed how heavy it is, but now that you've pointed it out, it is quite obvious.
Another Palace Workshops bottle I had, which was cinnabar lacquer on a copper body, and also quite heavy, was interesting, because it was cut down to the copper, and then the copper was incised with diaper patterns and gilded.
Best,
Joey
