[Boletus]

Hello Rube, thank you very much for your reply and for your very welcome opinion.
I hope that my photos are paying some justice, obviously when seen in person and held in your hands the bottle feels and looks much better, but then again this perhaps could be said of all bottles... or perhaps not?
When examined with a 10x loupe it shows good signs of age and wear, together with clear signs of its being carved with a cameo technique. But perhaps this doesn't mean much, probably many modern examples are carved pretty much the same way...
Anyway, please let me know if you have other thoughts while we wait for more comments and opinions.
What do you think of the other three bottles shown in the group photo?
Cheers and thanks again
Frank
