What can anyone tell me about this inside bottle painter?
I am looking at a bottle of his.

Thank you,

Do you have his chinese name( chinese characters for reference)? or a pic with his signature?

Hi Donna

This  artist  does  not  appear  anywhere  in my data  base

It  very  much  sounds  like  a  pen name, so I guess  he/ she is  just a   short-lived  minor  artist

Cheers

There is a Liu Zi Yun, Charll talked about a while back..

[hndmarshall]

I am looking at three peacock bottles but only one is of interest to me, he ( Zi Yun) is supposed to be the painter of that bottle. The bottles are so similar I am wondering if he is also the painter of one or both of the other bottles. Being a newbie I would also like your honest opinion on these bottles. there are three pics of each bottle.

bottle 1



bottle 2



bottle 3



Thank you

Hi Donna

1. I would  agree that  all  3  bottles  are  painted  by the  same  artist

2. Zi Yun  ( and  Liu  Ziyun  in  fact   ANY NAME +  Ziyun)  are not  in  my database.    I think that  means  that  Ziyun  - whoever  he/ she  was  -   was  never  a  mainstream   artist

3.  The  painting  quality  / detail  is  very  good , but rather   stereotyped. 

 Certainly well  above    general  high-class   'tourist  grade' bottles. 

4.  Therefore  my  guess  is  that this  was a    short-lived  high-grade    Ji - School   student

Cheers

从三件作品看，基本都一样。我喜欢第二件。

[hndmarshall]

第二个是我也喜欢的我对我进行投标的一个希望我能得到它。

The second one is the one  I like also and the one I am bidding on I hope I get it.

The second one looks like the birds are much nicer painted...

Good luck !

    The feathers on all three bottles are superbly painted, and I prefer the 2nd one as well, but a neighbour has a nesting pair of peacock and peahen, and the heads  on the painted examples aren't quite right, in my opinion.
    The peacock was stalking me for 40 min. at a BBQ last Saturday evening - I was throwing away the pitted olives in my Greek salad (I don't like olives, though I love good olive oil), and it loved the olives. I threw it all mine, from about 5 ft. away; then I raided the bowl of cocktail olives; after that, I tried to ignore it, but it was quite insistent. My friends apologised for not warning me not to feed it olives.
    Incidentally, the peacock's tail when extended, is over 6 ft. (180-200 cm.) across. Very stunning!

congrats Donna,

My reasons for wanting the second bottle is:
1-the birds themselves are not painted as dark as the other two bottles.
2-The area around the birds is not as cluttered with color which I think takes away from the birds.
3-The birds are more painted in detail.

I know I am going to love my bottle.

Donna

我想要第二瓶的原因是：
1鸟本身不涂暗的其他两瓶。
2鸟的周围没有杂乱的颜色，我觉得从鸟带走。
3鸟画的细节。

我知道我会喜欢我的瓶子。
