Wow Frank, I didn’t know that you were a writer!
You really have skills to tell stories, I am amazed!
It is always nice to know the story behind each object, Joey has a lot of stories that he kindly share with us.
Now, there is a point in your story. Why those collectors did not buy the bottle?
Was them unexperienced or was that bottle the worst one of the group?
Actually, many times there are no apparent logical explications. I have bought good items for low price after the sale at auctions.
I bought for example a rare Kangxi hexagonal vase, hu form, for 100 euro after the sale, for incredible that it may seem.
So, Australia is a good hunting place. Pity it is so far. Oh well, tomorrow I will go to the flea market where Joey bought the Japanese page turner. Let cross the fingers!
Kind regards
Giovanni
