Haha - I like quizzes!

I know there is debate about when he painted because he rarely dated his bottles, but it is my belief he was the son of Xue Shaofu and the bottle was painted anywhere between 1910 - 1940

I can also postulate it would be difficult to find a XCC in clear glass!

Also I can guess that that's a picture of a policeman holding a traffic signal, which I read first started in the 1860s (predating the car) to prevent traffic jams with horse drawn carriages.
