Rock Crystal Landscape by Pan Jaifang (pen name Zhen Yu), painted September 2007-

This bottle is made of clear quartz crystal that is almost free of inclusions.  It stands just 5.5 cm in height (2 1/4 inches) by 3.3 cm (1 3/8 inches) at the widest point.  Painted in a snowy landscape of bare trees and buildings along an icy stream with misty mountains in the background.



Also, desire a transcription of the poem and artist(?) mark, if anyone can has the time to help.  Thanks, Charll

Hi Charll,

Beautiful bottle! the inscript  is a poem by 刘长卿( Liu changQin) of Tang Dynasty.《逢雪宿芙蓉山》Staying at a Cottage of Mt. Hibiscus on a Night of Snow

"When the mountains lurk dim in the pale dark,
The cottage of shabby looks stands lone in twilight.
By the wattle gate now I hear dogs loudly bark,
The master has come home in the snow of night.
Painted in 2007 by zhen Yu."

I like the everything about the bottle except the running creek, maybe that is his style( I personally think the artist has his own style, and unique and stylish, I like the calligraphy the most which matched style of the painting perfectly.

Steven

Hi Charll,

Coincidentally, I have bought a PJF bottle of the same theme in this May.





The calligraphy of your bottle is much nice, I like it.
Pan Jiafang is one of my most favorite artists.

Cheers
Misu
