Amazing! My mother bequeathed me her collection of 100- to 200-year old netsukes and snuff bottles. They are very beautiful, and Mr. Sterling’s artistry is right up there with the masters’.
Thanks so much for your kind words! I envy your bequest, what a wonderful collection to leave to you. Enjoy them for many years!
