Dear Tom,

Thanks for your comment on my wood bottle. Your polychrome porcelain version is one of the best of its kind I have seen. The reticulated work is an unusual feature, I believe. I wish you luck with its sale. I have been keeping a lookout for a good monochrome (glazed or biscuit finish) match to my wood bottle. A biscuit version was sold by Bonhams at Billingshurst in 1989, but that was before I got the wood one. The latest Sotheby's Barron sale in NY had a good one, on which I had placed an absentee bid., but reluctantly withdrew it after reaching my "spend limit" at the Bonhams auction two days earlier! It only fetched $1,700, so wish I had not pulled out. C'est la vie.
