Another new one would like to share..

Yu Chuan..

Double checked with the seller, and it is Yu Chuan (宇川), not the Yun Chuan (雲川) you guys have mentioned on here before.

Not absolutely sure I like this particular bottle or not..

Link for more pics..

This bottle  puzzles  me   somewhat  : it   may be a  second  " Yu  Chuan"

1.  It's a very  unsual  painting style.  I  have  several  bottles  by  Yu  Chuan  =  Lin Xiao Li  but I  never saw a  bottle  like  this before

2. The  price  is  quite high  ( I normally pay  US$200  -  300  max)  but  it seems  it's a  natural  crystal  bottle,  which might  explain   the  high  price

3. I never  saw  Yu  Chuan   write  so much  on  a bottle  :  normally  just a   very    few  characters

4.  Yu Chuan  signs the  " Chuan"  in a  very  flowing  way , not   as   3  close   strokes

But....  it  was bought  in Shanghai  which is  where  many  of  Yu Chuan's bottles   end  up

So......  ?

Cheers   Peter

Yes, the base material alone for this is at least 800-1000rmb these days.  Prices for natural rock crystal are going through the roof.  The asking price is on the high end but as I said in another post, prices are starting to reflect market reality.  Seems the old hoarded stock/inventory has dried up and we are seeing the end result.  The good days are dissappearing, fast...
