Hi  George

Now  I  could   really  fall    for that  bottle....

Do you   think it's  genuine ?  (  I mean genuine   coral ?)

Don't  care  if  it's modern

Cheers   Peter

There are large pieces of white coral available.. Although like with most coral, you would have to get to the meat of a piece like this one below ( 13" x 11" ) where it has become agatized. The outer part would be to porous..

Sure is beautiful..  Smiley

Only one thing that bothers me is the size. It is bigger than bottles of this type would have been,...  But it IS beautiful.
