Hi Geoff

I am really puzzled  by  that  lovely  Zheng Xuye  bottle.

Go to Bill  Patrick's website and  see his  entire  collection of  Zheng Xuye  bottles (they  are also  in my  DB)

Go to   : 
http://www.snuffbottlecollector.com/zheng_xuye/zheng_xuye_1.htm
and then  click NEXT

It would  be worthwhile  to ask Bill  how and  when he   acquired  those  bottles.

Seems  he bought  the entire  collection  from another  collector (a  German  guy  because the  bottle  descriptions on Bill's website  are  in English and  German ? )

Zheng  Xuye  is  a  really  early  Modern Period  artist  and  so  I   would be  surprised  that she  was still  painting  in 1997.

However, from the   quality  of the   artwork  I  would  say that  whoever  painted  that bottle  is  a very  skilled and  "mature"  artist

Cheers
Peter
