Charll,
    You have a stunning group of laque burgaute bottles. Usually one sees one or two amongst a collection of other types of bottle, so seeing this many all together really makes an impact. I have always had an eye open for this kind of bottle, but either there was damage, or the price was too high for comfort. Personally, I prefer the less cluttered ones, that have a pictorial design rather than pure geometric patterns. Consequently I like the one you first posted best.

Joey,
    Thanks for your input on Thai royal laque burgaute bottles. I never knew about the rose colour shell pieces being an indicator of Thai origin. In 20 years here I have never seen a laque burgaute bottle. Neither did I know about John Ault's collection. They were NOT part of the collection he sold to Robert Kleiner, neither were they illustrated in his book. 

Tom
