Dear YT,

The Chinese date is at the top of the first line of calligraphy.

Yes, I can see that Zhou Hongbin bottles are commanding high prices. Too bad mine has a crack. I found that Bonhams had sold two porcelain bottles by the artist on 15 March and 15 September 2014 respectively, but there was no mention that they were dated. The first bottle, also with a scene of 3 figures on a sampan (picture below), was sold for $10,000.

If you would excuse me for saying, I think your porcelain bottle looks fatigue  and urgently needs to be rejuvenated by a transfusion of black ink!  Wink

Cheers,
Edmund
