My perplexities belong from the style of drawing, never seen before, not related to any style/period. Everything is strange to me, the horses, the hats, the faces, the dresses, legs, shoes. And the blue too is strange, it is similar to the Japanese blue, almost no shades.  Giovanni

All,

In the last 10 years I've likely seen 6 to 8 of these bottles with the same body style and motif.  Though there has been noticeable differences in painting detail and tonal quality among them, the design is the same.   Many old established collections have had one and I thought Robert Hall had one for sale sometime back.  Anyway I remember seeing them from time to time in dealer's collection sale catalogs and at auction.
