I love blue and white anything, and these are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteis it some very obvious and unnecessary message again? BANG BANG.
ReplyDeleteThey speak to me , I know where he's coming from.
ReplyDeleteto me they look more Persian than Chinese. could it be because of the shapes of the bottles?
ReplyDeleteDear Mr Toms: It illustrates the adage 'new wine in old bottles' in an interesting new twist.
ReplyDeleteDear Bang Bang: Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
