Hi Edmund,

Firstly, welcome to the forum!

I'm a little surprised to read that the ICSBS knew so little about Zhou Hongbin in late 1986 as to place his work under case-study pieces. I know of at least one collector who acquired a white glass bottle by this artist in Hong Kong during the 1960s. And there were a number of other bottles of his in circulation well before the mid 1980s.

Zhou Hongbin's active period is usually described as being 1900-1920, based on the dates of his documented bottles. That does not exclude the possibility of other dated examples showing up which are outside this time-frame.   

All best,
Tom
