True, this guy is an artist. He also does metal sign repairs.

They do look too good to be true, but if you look in the picture, the one bottle has a drip in the brown glaze, he was able to keep that drip on the bottle when he repaired it. He does not have a website, but if anybody wants his conatct info, just send me an email.

I know what's going on here. The second pictures are the "before" pictures, then you broke the tops off just to play a trick on us. Haha, you almost got me.
