Hi Peter,

I found two Zhang zenglou(shao xiao xuan) bottles which you can add on your DB, He is a incredible artist, I really like the way he applying colors:)

Does anyone know anything about the early painting years for Zhang Zeng lou ?

I found a couple of links that tell when he was born ( 1956 ), and his accomplishments from 1987 to present, but nothing else.

I seem to have stumbled into a bottle painted by him in 1997. It looks nothing like his VM bottles I am seeing.

Apparently in 1983 he founded Shenzhou City Arts and Crafts Research insititute..  He must have been considered a Master artist at this time ?  Seems like there would be some info about his time as a student artist. Like when he started painting ..

This bottle, although nice was painted just a few years ealier.  He must have really excelled quickly ! This bottle is not like any of his other VM works I find online.
