Hi  Joey, YT

I agree !

David  Osborne's   bottles    generally  sell for  between  US$ 50 - 500  ( usually  about  US$200)   but    all  his  bottles  are  guaranteed   genuine ( indeed  most come   with  a   little  certificate   signed  by  WXS !)

The  artists whose  bottles  he  sells  tend to  be  middle-  ranking  from the  early- mid   2000s but  occasionally there's   some  real  beauties  there  ( e.g  Suo Zhenhai  and  Pan Jiafang = Zhen Yu )

But then  again   the  most   that can be  said  of  Dong Jiang (  which  BTW  is  an  Art  Name  :  I  don't  know  who he  real  artist is )  except  that he  was  painting  in the   mid  - 1990s

Jill  deals  only  in   the  best  Very  Modern   bottles recently   painted  by  top    class    Ji , Qin  and  Lu  School  artists   in the   age  range   30  -  50 ( roughly  speaking)    That  means  that her  prices  start  at  US$1,000, and  may go as high  as  US$  2,000.  But  for  that  you  get    real  high  quality  bottles  with  guaranteed  provenance.  Also,  even though  her  prices  may seem  high to those  accustomed  to  buying  in the  US$100  -  200  range  on e-bay,  I  have   got  some  real  bargains  from Jill from time  to  time ,  often  at  lower  prices  than  if  I had  bought  direct  from   the  artists  concerned.

Anyway...

But  certainly,  buying  from David  and  Jill  is  100%  safe !

Cheers

Peter
