What if it is a really good fake, done in the 1980s in a late 19th C. bottle  to fool collectors. It could be faded by being put in direct sunlight. Just a wild guess. I also thought it could be earlier. How early do we find Shandong work?
Best,
Joey


If the bottle was painted by a shandong artist,  there is no many stories to tell.

But the painting does remind me an early period bottle, my question is that how a early period artist paint it on a late 19th glass bottle?Smiley
