Title: 3 Bottles Post by: bokaba on September 21, 2016, 09:54:15 pm Dear Members,
I am wondering if there is anything of interest here or late 20th Century tourist bottles. Thank you Brian Title: Re: 3 Bottles Post by: George on September 21, 2016, 10:14:37 pm Aside from the interesting stopper on the last bottle... Nothing there Brian..

I kind of like the first one better, which is a shandong 40s -60s bottle. I actually still own a couple of similar ones. The 2nd one is well painted and appealing as well ,but not my taste . The 3rd one is the oldest one ,but I dont like the painting. Steven Title: Re: 3 Bottles Post by: bokaba on September 21, 2016, 10:32:45 pm Thanks Steven. How old you think the last one is? It kind of looks like a Bi Rongiu imitation to me.

I personally feel that the last one resembles Yong Shoutian more... Best, Samson P.S. That's an interesting stopper! Title: Re: 3 Bottles Post by: cshapiro on September 21, 2016, 11:56:52 pm Hi Brian,
The last one is a Liu Qiao - I would bet my entire collection that it is. If it's cheap enough, it is at least a listed artist - albeit a very low grade one. I have three of his works. You can read more about him on the Liu Qiao thread here: http://snuffbottle.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,3203.0.html I found the listing on ebay and the person is asking way too much (IMO) The most I've paid for a non warrior bottle is $100 (and that was with a really good top) You can see it here: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/204523-liu-qiao-inside-painted-snuff-bottle |
