They still do make this type of work even today but there is really no comparison between antique ones and new ones ( as such is the case with just about everything else). These are rare and hard to find. The four you see are result of almost 30 years of actively pursuing and collecting this type of work. That is to speak for their rarity. The other two are again decoarted with arabasque motifs and have inscriptions all around them. they are different from each other in detail and design.
