Dear Cathy,

  1. What is the height, etc.? Is it over 4 inches high?
If not, please don't use the term 'mother bottle' (although it is not set in stone, that tends to be the minimal size.).
Ideally, DON'T use 'buzz words'. Describing it as a large bottle, with measurements, will be less problematic.
And George said he didn't know of large bottles by Tang Zichuan, NOT that he didn't know of military subjects by TZC.

2. Great example! Congratulations!

3. Well done to match it to Chen Zhongsan. It seems close enough that it should not greatly affect the value, though obviously, it drops it at least 10%. By comparison, having a false name like Zhou Leyuan would drop it more, in my opinion. Although I have fine examples by Yan Yutian and others signed ZLY...  Wink      See #D-7 in Worlds, for example; though it does have Yan's seal.

Best,
Shabbat Shalom,
Joey
