Dear Joey,

I could not agree more with your comments.

There are still a lot of top quality bottles we might not have seen, even though many had been acquired over the last 100 years by Western collectors of Asian, especially Chinese, works of arts. We have also heard of stories of so called ' gurus ' who said certain bottles were ' imperial ', only to be disproved later by new researches or evaluations by records surfaced by museums in Beijing and Taipei.

I have seen some very exquisite bottles in the hands of certain collectors in Singapore which I would say are of top qualities, probably of imperial qualities. The collections were previously in the hands of a small circle of goldsmiths in Hong Kong.
