The piece of my dreams

Seen through the gate of an auction house and gallery here in Budapest. The gallery was closed, so I emailed them to see how much this might cost as I had seen a picture of the exact same style kulac (flask) earlier in the day and decided that was what I wanted. The response was that it was a piece designed by Lajos Mack, in 1900, and more than $21,000. It broke my heart to hear that because it was beyond stunning (even through the bars ;-)), but it will never be mine.
