Finally, I decided not to use DOF. Although this would have yielded a 
better artistic result, it would certainly have extended the render time 
considerably, which was now just under a week (6d 22h 43m, of which 2d 
6h 30m for the collection of photons).

I have added some irregularities in the decoration of the decanter. 
Unfortunately, they are difficult to recognise. In fact, a lot of 
glassware from this period was amazingly perfect. Here Stephen was only 
partly right.

All the objects depicted are modelled after excavation findings in 
Rhineland-Palatinate and the Netherlands, which are dated back to around 
200 AD.

Best regards
Michael
