These are really interesting and quite amazing bottles Steven.

As you mention in your introduction, the painting style of mixing colours gives a strong visual impact and a style which I don't think I've ever seen before on inside-painted bottles. While it's quite easy to mix colours like this on a canvas or in watercolour on paper, I don't know how he can do it inside painting on glass, certainly not with this degree of control.

It's surely quite unique - are there any other artists who can do this?  Like Peter, I would be interested in buying but I suspect the price would be too high.

When did he start painting in this style? His bottles do not appear in Chinese Inside Painting of the Modern Age.
