Dear Adrian,

      I'm really bad at judging over the screen and not 'live'.
Steven is much better. So is Giovanni.

      But I don't understand one thing. If, as I think I understand from your explanation, they 'cast' the glass 'overlay' bits, do they glue them or somehow, succeed in fusing the blown glass bottle with the blown glass 'applique'?

      I find the latter hard to believe. And in order for it to be economically feasible, there would need to be lots of pieces to be sold. There aren't, as far as I can tell.

       I guess we'll have to wait till we can see better photos.
Best,
Joey
