Hi Joey,

Now I see what you mean. There is no enough historical evidence linking inside painting to the Court.

Regarding the snuff stains, I personally feel it adds authenticity to the bottles. So I agree with Joey it shouldn´t lower the value unless heavily damaged by scrapping.

Hi George, thanks a lot. You are on the top of the list  Smiley

Best Regards,

Marcos

What detective work!

Marcos

Congrats ! Wow

All

I actually might have to revisit all my IP overlays that I always assumed were 1890s-19xx...

Dear Pat,

     I'd love to help, if you are available when next I visit. We could lay all the obviously older Shandong bottles out on a table on a white towel (to cushion and protect them), and try to see which bottles visually go with which others.
 
     Or if you had a native Chinese who was educated in calligraphy, probably he or she would be even more useful to you.
Best,
Joey

Dear all,
I stumbled on this thread and I must say that, although I am not so "immersed" in the IP bottles field, I found it extremely interesting. Admired by the great job did by Steven, George, and everyone in this thread.
Kind regards
Giovanni

Dear Pat,
 
    After Steven's 'Eureka' moment (suggesting that Shandong bottles could go back to Early Period), I will be very excited to look at your large collection of Shandong bottles, to see if we can find proof for his thesis.
Best,
Joey
