Peter,
 
George's commissioned bottle was by Tie Min ( 铁民 ）, according to the signature on the bottle shown by George. It was done by the young artist in the winter of 2016 , year of 丙申。
The pictures posted by Pin in September 2016 were works of Tie Min done in the Summer of the same year.

However, it is interesting to note that there is a slight difference in the way the Chinese character ' Tie 铁 ' was signed off by the artist. In Pin's bottle, the character ' Tie ' was in the complex form used in Taiwan ( 鐡 ）， whilst in George's bottle the ' Tie ' was in a simplified form of ( 铁 ). I am just curious why he changed the signature from Summer to Winter season within the same year ? Mood change ?

Just my observation.
