I read a comment by Cathy that the 'Masters' didn't repeat subjects.

That is ridiculous.

Joey, apparently you didn't read the whole sentence, because that is not what I said and I still stand by it.

It seems like the more of a master an artist was, the less he repeated subjects. For example Ding Erzhong repeated bottles very rarely, the Ye family produced bottles for over 50 years with 4 artists and still didn't repeat a theme to the extent that this warrior bottle has been repeated. We had a hard time finding the women in the window scene on Samson's bottle.
