The bottles for which Gerry had a weakness have stood the test of time and more remarkably, of our increased knowledge of the subject. Gerry's achievement was to align on bottles which he liked and which are still highly sought after and in many cases among the finest of their type, such as no. 26 in this catalogue, the stunning Imperial glass snuff bottle inscrebed with one of the Qianlong Emperor's personal reminiscences and no. 11, the nephrite bottle hollowed almost to eternity." excerpt from the foreword by Robert Kleiner, February 2000..
