Hi All,

Please  can anyone  read this signature  (and whatever else is written) ?

I think I can  clearly see  Guo Shun 国 顺  (except that the  Guo  is  in traditional   script and the  Shun is  simplified ?!)

But what's the   character before  that, and what's the  date  and  other  things  written?

Cheers

Peter

Hi Peter,

I see that as "寫" which means "write". The statement read "written in Yihu Zhai in the autumn month of the year of Yihai. Guoshun"

Best,
Samson

Hi  Samson

Thanks for  the  reply.

That  was  also  BingBing's   interpretation .

Seems  like   the  bottle  was  painted  by  Fu Guoshun 付国顺 although it's a very  unusual style  for  him

Cheers

Hi  again Samson

Ah.... year  Yi Hai  =  1995  correct?

That  explains the   style of the  bottle  - halfway between  FGS's  old style (as per New Look) and    his  very modern  style  (2005  + )

Cheers

Can you send the whole picture of the bottle?
I think:
元章题石 = Yuan Zhang Writting on the Stone
乙亥年秋月于一壶斋写国顺 = Written by Guo Shun in One Bottle Studio inthe Autumn of 1995
If I can see the picture of the bottle, maybe the meaning will be "painted by Guo Shun in One Bottle Studio inthe Autumn of 1995".
