Title: Shandong landscape bottle Post by: Rube on October 23, 2017, 02:07:02 pm Hey Everyone,
I'd like to share another bottle that I recently acquired. I think it's a Shandong bottle, measuring 2 3/16" w/o stopper. I love the landscape, but the calligraphy on the other side isn't great. I'm hoping that someone may be able to help with the translation and date? Submitted is a photograph under magnifying glass, since the calligraphy is pretty tiny, it's the best I can do. Any help is greatly appreciated! Cheers, Rube. Title: Re: Shandong landscape bottle Post by: Joey Silver / Si Zhouyi 義周司 on October 23, 2017, 03:28:23 pm Dear Rube,
A beautiful IPSB. Sorry I can't help with the inscription, but possibly Steven, or Pin or Richard or Inn Bok, etc., can. Best, Joey Title: Re: Shandong landscape bottle Post by: George on October 23, 2017, 09:19:31 pm Not sure, but could be Xue Chencai ... Hopefully someone can tell you for sure.. But nice bottle !

Thanks for sharing. The style is quite 'rustic'! I prefer the side without the calligraphy. Tom Title: Re: Shandong landscape bottle Post by: forestman on October 24, 2017, 03:02:25 am Hi Rube,
I quite like the style of painting which is a little different. There's a good sense of depth to it, especially on the side with calligraphy where the flowers sit in the foreground with the figure and cattle obviously more distant. Regards, Adrian.

I also like the style of the painting but not the subject matter, I think the landscapes are very samey. Regards Jason. Title: Re: Shandong landscape bottle Post by: Rube on October 24, 2017, 04:33:03 pm Hi,
Thanks for everyone who supplied comments about the bottle. Adrian, I agree with you about the depth (the white flowers are well done) and Tom, I, too, prefer the landscape. I was hoping someone could shed a clue to the calligraphy, but, oh well... Cheers, Rube. Title: Re: Shandong landscape bottle Post by: Steven on October 24, 2017, 09:12:58 pm Dear Rube,
Sorry for the late response on this, I have been a little busy for past a couple of days.:) I like the bottle! it appears that its a shandong bottle as you addressed. The inscripts can be read" The spring of Jiang Nan(the south of the river), Painted in the August of 76(1976)by xxxx" I can't figure out of the artist since it was written a little carelessly, I will ask if any my friends can figure it out" Thanks for sharing.

I was guessing Cai Shi too, based on an example from Bill’s site. Cheers, Rube Title: Re: Shandong landscape bottle Post by: AntPeople on October 25, 2017, 03:59:12 am Congratulations... nice bottle esp the mountain side
