Hi All.

     Personally, I don't like the fissures and would agree with Giovanni and Tom to try and clean them up, in order to let the 'pine branches in snow' (the poetic Chinese name for this type of white Jadeite with green inclusions) show up.

     Having said that, it does look a bit like the Literati conceit of 'artful artlessness', where a very well made bottle is produced from a 'cheap' or unregarded material. 

     Anyone feel like a poll, over whether one prefers the bottle 'as is' or 'cleaned up'?

     I agree with Charll's dating, based on what I can see on the thread.
Nice bottle, Pin. Congratulations,
Joey
