    Hello Charles, I see we have a disagreement as to the probable
    techniques used to form the silver on the glass perfume bottle.  My
    own experience with similar bottles was doing a refurbishing for an
    antiques shop dealer.  The bottles I worked with were antiques and
    very obviously when closely examined the glass had been blown into
    the silver framework.  It seemed to me that the silver on this bottle
    had been chased and repoussed. I must say though that electroforming
    is very possible. This is one of the aspects that I find so
    fascinating about metalwork, the curiosity and the question, "How did
    they do that?!" Personal note(YAK), just got your photo
    video-excellent!!
