It's not hard to see from the examples of bottles posted on here that YST repeated these warrior bottles over and over.

I found a very similar bottle to my YST that was auctioned on Live Auctioneers in 2013 said to depict a famous battle during the 3 Kingdom period. Where one of the main horses on my bottle was white the same horse on the other bottle was brown and white but in exactly the same stance, the same figures held different weapons on each bottle but otherwise were very close in stance and clothing and numerous other similarities. You could almost suggest he copied one from the other but just changed some details so it was never an exact copy.

It may make it easier to value his bottles as they could be so similar but that fact must detract from their value as well.

Regards, Adrian.
