Just as a side note, and off topic.....
In defense of the CW poster, he would likely be innocently oblivious to the etiquette of asking about the pic, and is simply a self described lousy photographer that likes to post his recent purchases. He and I communicate quite often..... He is also quite the knowledgeable authority on Russian Icons and helps curate the largest collection of them in the US.
For what it is worth, he has a magnificent collection of American art glass..... I mean truly a stunning mix.... If you want to see some beautiful early American glass, click on his profile pic to see all of his posts of American glass...... He has become quite infatuated with Bohemian / Czech glass in the last several years.....
