Dear George,
   I don't know the artist, but that's a bottle I would have bought, if I'd seen it.
Well done!

Not Xiao Shan, but is another Shandong bottle with a poem.. Recently bought a book called, "Poems of the Masters".. Tang and Sung Dynasty Poets.

Found this poem by Meng Hao-jan that reads, 

Sleeping in Spring oblivious to dawn, everywhere I hear birds, after the wind and rain last night, I wonder how many petals fell.

Painted 1915, followed by "Painted in Summer" ( Thank you Steven )

Again, not painted by Xiao Shan, but good place to share another bottle with a poem..

The one side is from a painting by Ma Yuan called, "Scholar By A Waterfall". Although have also seen it called, Watching the Deer by a Pine Shaded Stream".

The reverse side shows three court ladies that appear to be painted at the same waterfall/stream, but not sure the connection..

The poem written by Tang Poet Du Mu, it can be translated "The stone footpath is tilted on the upper distant cold mountain, in between the white cloud there appears a household" ( Thank you Steven )..

2 3/4" less stopper..
