    I called it Zebra Stone just because I had to have a title, but in all honesty I'm not sure what kind of stone this bottle is trying to imitate. It might have been an attempt to mimic picasso jasper or some other stone.

    The Chinese were masters of imitation!

    I also "think" the masks on the sides represent bats, but I may be wrong about that.

    On the base you can see where they pulled the glass.
