Very nice Marcos!

I own 6 or 7 bottles by this artist, none dated, which is a pity....

Thank you guys!

Do you feel I should try to remove the snuff stains from inside or just leave as it is?

It could be cleaned a bit in a way like Steven uses.. He helped me with one using a Q-tip...

But.... In this case, I would leave it ... I think cleaning the stain from around the image would not end up looking good..

That's just me...

Agreed.  I have had some good and some mixed results and it could wind up looking worse and messy.

I agree. Better to leave it alone.

Does anyone know whether this Ye Zhongsan bottle was a copy of my Tzi Chuans bottle or the other way around?

Kind of hard to say with yours not being dated..  Best guess is yes it could be, even though this buffalo riding theme is seen before with other artists, could well still be copied from Ye Family.. But most likely, like other artists, this would be copied from an original scroll.

I would like to add that your bottle's theme, although obviously painted by Tang, and a wonderful example , the theme is not his usual strong mythical and whimsical themed styles, which for me are the top prize for this artist. .
