I need some opinions on this bottle.

This is a recent acquisition from an auction.  Every time I looked at it prior to bidding it did appear to be an authentic Ye family inside painted bottle.  To those that know and collect Ye bottles, is this likely an unsigned Ye Bengqi bottle?  Let me know what you think. 

Thanks for the help, Charll

Yes, Charll, and good eye... !  Here is a comparison and notes of another bottle from Apricot Grove.

Bengqi very rarely dated his work after 1949. All of his undated work is either of birds and flowers after his enameling technique, or of the component landscape variety ( example below ).

Many of these inside painted bottles could as easily be enameled glass for all the differences there would be in the subject matter and style of painting.

Dear Charll,

Congratulations! That is a unquestionable Ye family bottle.

I also agree with George about the date, could be  1950-1965. In my opinion, it also could be from Ye shuying too.
