I'm not sure how many Bi Rongjiu bottles there are out there but not an artist you see that often. This is one of 3 IP's I got from the recent Chiswick auctions.

Height is 58mm and the bottle squarer than normal.

Regards, Adrian.

Thanks Albert, Rube and Joey.

Here's the second from the lot of 3. Another artist you don't see too often, Meng Zishou, 64mm high with a continual scene around the bottle. I like the cockerel on the roof !

Regards, Adrian.

Dear Adrian,

    Wow! A Bi Rongjiu AND a Meng Zishou! What is the third one?
Compare your 'Country Inn' scene with my examples of the same subject by Bai Langchen [A-26] and Chen Zhongsan [A-27], in
"Worlds".
Best,
Joey

Dear Joey,

I haven't managed to find the artist of the 3rd bottle but I like it. height is 69mm, not sure what the stopper material is, red jasper ?, with a continual landscape scene going around the bottle.

Thank you for pointing out your similar themed bottles to my Meng Zishou, cockerels on roofs are clearly a common thing in China.

Regards, Adrian.

Dear Adrian,

     That's a beauty too!
For some reason, I'm thinking a Beijing artist, ca. 1890-1925.
When I return to Israel from 08.July, I will compare it to some of my landscape bottles from lesser-known artists
and let you know whose work it reminds me of.
You got three very good examples in one lot.
Respect. [a la Ali G! Roll Eyes]
