China .... 1 billion people .... 4 billion names. I once thought I would try to write down every name I found associated with an IPB. I soon gave that up with a more realistic goal of trying to document every painter we can find, not every name we can find. Somewhere in this forum or in e-mail I think Peter mentioned a "middle man" who received bottles from various painters and he put names on them. Is my memory correct Peter??
