Dear all,

Thanks! Glad that you like it! By the way, I recently learned from Joey that a way to distinguish whether a Ye bottle is done by Ye the Elder or the family studio is that if the bottle is done by Ye the Elder, the top of the "Ye" character in the signature should resemble the English letter "Y" (according to Y.F. Yang). I can see that in my bottle, together with the date of 1906, I'm pretty sure it's the work of Ye the Elder. Upon learning so, I told Joey that Ye Zhongsan probably knew English to have purposely signed his name this way, i.e. "Y" stands for "Ye". Wink

Best,
Samson
