Good evening, I have had these 2 bottles I thought I'd share. The big peacock one a young woman sold it to me, and said her aunt brought it back from china in the 1970s. The landscape I know nothing about.
Input please  Smiley, thanks Danna

Pretty bottle Danna..

I believe it is dated 1950, and will leave the rest of the script to the experts..

Thanks for sharing !

Hi Danna,

I am not a expert, but will share some my ture feeling about the bottle.

I will say its a pretty bottle, but its almost the same class with my bottle.  http://snuffbottle.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,1187.msg11168/topicseen.html#msg11168
Good looking, but not any masterpiece, I will comments on my own bottle later on, give you some idea.

I personally think the bottle is false dated, it can't be a 1950 bottle, if you don't mention which was bought in 1970s, I will date it 2010. but it could be 80s bottle in my opionion.

The reason it can't 1950 is the colors being used, etc the purple color, also the brush stokes are typical later style.
