Hello, can anyone provide any information on this bottle or the signature? It appears to be an archer on one side and a woman fleeing in a boat with a baby on the others. Perhaps some story out of Chinese mythology or history?

Perhaps the mythical archer, Houyi (后羿), but I don't see any connection to the woman with the baby.

Is this bottle by any known artist or have any age to it?

The paintings on this bottle were created the same way your faked Ma Shaoxuan bottle was created..

Not sure about the archer but the other side featured general Zhao Zilong (Zhao Yun) from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

This is the scene whereby he rescued the young prince Liu Chan from the Wu state.

For your information.

Regards.
