You may well be right Richard.

These two bottles look very similar to each other in every way. In fact, when I saw the one posted here by Inn Bok, I was sure I had seen it before, but now realize it was Richard's bottle that I was remembering.

Dear Inn Bok,
    A beautiful bottle, but I agree with Steven. I much prefer the calligraphy to the painting.
I actually prefer bottles that have only calligraphy. I have two by Ma Shaoxuan, and a few by other, modern artists, and plan to get more.
     Merry Christmas from Jerusalem, Israel,

Richard,

Our bottles look almost identical except for the following :

1. Your bottle begins with a seal. Mine begins with the title " 琵琶行  白居易 "
2. Your bottle has fewer words on the first page and more on the second ( see the starting of the line on second side ).
3. I agree with you that the theme could have been given to the different pairs of artists, but there are subtle / minor differences in some details like the painting of the woman .... )
