Hi Danna

I visited both recent conventions, in Hong Kong and Singapore, saw some really nice bottles I would have liked to have but all were outside my price range.
I agree with Joey, David Osborne regularly offers good bottles at very reasonable prices and is the best regular source I've used.

EXCEPT for last week, when I visited my Shenzhen Bottle Shop and the lady there offered me this fish bottle for just RMB200 (US$30). A small circular bottle just 2.5 cm diameter and 6 cm tall, no signature, I assume a student bottle but a quality which surprised me.
It's circular, so I've photographed four sides with two close-ups







With no signature I will never know if the artist becomes famous, anyway if they do their prices will be beyond me.
But it seems to me that artists produce their best work before they become famous.
