Dear Inn Bok,

無獨有偶 (to our non-Chinese friends, this phrase literally means one is not alone as he has a companion, it actually means "coincidentally"), I have a falsely signed "Sun Xingwu" bottle that is highly identical to yours in painting style and the shape of it is exactly the same as yours. Does yours have a dull polished surface? Then our bottles have yet another common feature. I've been hesitating to show it as I knew it's not genuine, but I'll post it here for your comparison.

It's one of the first bottles I bought. Back then I had not joined the forum yet and I had very shallow knowledge on inside painting art and the artists. I bought this bottle because I liked the subjects depicted, a pair of swans on one side and a pair of mandarin ducks on the other. Both swimming in the lotus pond... My attention was first drawn to that, I only turned to the signature afterwards and found it was signed "Sun Xingwu". Ironically, I actually learned of master Sun through such a bottle falsely signed in his name. Of course, I later found that my bottle wasn't done by him. One thing I'm still puzzling over, my bottle has something that looks like clotted snuff residuals in it. One possibility is that it's really been used as a snuff bottle before...

I've seen original Sun Xingwu's work in Joey's collection, I have to say it's truly exquisite and gorgeous!

Best,
Samson
