John,

The bottle illustrated in #79 is a real star!
The beautiful Taotie, the broad foot rim,
everything about it is perfect.
Best,
Joey

The next bottle [56mm] is carved as a bamboo stalk. The interior is well hollowed. From an internet auction in 2016.

John,

   A very interesting example.
I don't think I have seen one like it before.

This next example [56mm] has 4 raised panels, the sides ones concave. The interior is very well hollowed. From the Morris Lesser Collection I bought in 2009.

John,

  Another beauty! Thank you for posting.

Charll,

    What does "... in my 'wheelhouse' of collecting..."
mean when it's at home?
Best,
Joey
