Alcoblog Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Personally, I think it's a rather crude, slap-handed copy of an original Langkawi work of art by none other than that well known glass fraudster ... Rene Lalique. Looks like it's made from a recycled Kaolin and Morph bottle and the bottom end of a broken wine glass. Of course, Rene was famous for this ... travelling forward and backward in time and stealing other peoples ideas. Don't forget that he's the person responsible for Venice sinking, due to the large amount/weight of lead in his crystal (not meth) at his top secret glass melting factory on the nearby island of Murano. After the high speed gondola race by angry (and wet) residents of Venice, he eventually lost them at Naples and made it back to Paris, setting up shop making tat ... like perfume bottles for Boots the chemist and radiator mascots for Lada. The numbers etched into the underside of the monstrosity are 20, 1, 3, 3, 1 and 009. Transpose these numbers to letters of the alphabet, A=1, B=2 etc, and you get 'TACCAI' ... Venetian for 'tacky'! Just what Rene was famous for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalman Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I thought it said 20133009 which could mean it was made about 10 days ago. In which case I suppose it got to Doncaster car boot impressively quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case I suppose it got to Doncaster car boot impressively quickly. Well...yes that was my thoughts too....Anyway I've emailed the company and asked then what the numbers mean. Whether I'll get a response though is anybody's guess. Maybe Alco's decoding of it is right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Correct in every detail, I know I have paid over the odds for something I like, but so what, I now Own it, Yesterday I paid almost £10.00 for 1(one) Wade Whimsie + postage. (I need my head looked at) I collect perfumes- I think £10 for a Wade Whimsie is quite reasonable bearing in mind there are SAMPLES of some of the scents that I am trying to get that go for more than that! What's the problem? As long as we're all spending inside our own means then we shouldn't be answerable to anybody else Oh- my perfumes smell nicer than your Wade, but then they also take up much more house room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
