Hi Peter,

Thank you for the information, Zhou Leyuan was an artist that has been copied by numerous other artists so it's a question of finding out who painted this one.

I'm still unconvinced it's by Zhang Baotian, mainly due to the use of blue which I can't find on any bottles signed as by him although there are very few to compare it too. I'll try now to compare it to ones he signed as Zhou Leyuan and see if he used any blue in those.

My bottle is 62mm high which is a size that continually crops up in glass bottles painted by Zhou Leyuan, Zhang Baotian and others from the same period and shows signs of age and use for snuffing as well so I agree it is likely of the same period.

Regards, Adrian.
