Dear Joey, Tom B, etc,

I have to ask myself why the incising of the pattern around the neck is sloppily done when the best craftsmen were available if it was genuine. A key fret design is simple compared to most of the working of overlays and stone bottles that were done back in the day.

A query about the incised marks is would they be overfilled with enamel and then have the excess polished away to leave a smooth surface which is what it looks like if I look at genuine incised and filled marks. If Inn Bok's mark is incised and filled it looks to be slightly uneven.  

I have examples of raised marks and, possibly, infilled marks on modern bottles.

Regards, Adrian.
