<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 103889, member: 54&quot;]I didn&#039;t read all the replies so sorry if this repeats someone else&#039;s idea but given the color it must be lacquerware even though it isn&#039;t smooth.&nbsp; If you know how most lacquerware is made there are sometimes dozens of layers of various compounds each coat of which is supposed to be dried in a special humidity chamber (yeah, see I watched part of one video on the process and now I&#039;m an expert, NOT!). Anyway what if the maker got rushed and didn&#039;t do the drying correctly, OR the buyer kept the bottle in his damp basement, OR the thing was in a house fire, and the lacquer was damaged.&nbsp; I&#039;m betting that some such damage occurred.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
