Excellent Chinese character bottle for sale in HK : Li Jihua

[Peter Bentley 彭达理]

Hi  All

The  artist -of-the-month   at  China   Arts and  Crafts  ( CAC)  HK  is  Li  Ji Hua   李  纪  华   a   senior  student  of   Da Yong   ( Hengshui)

He  has  an  excellent   character bottle  for  sale   with  bottom price  of  US$900 

I would  buy  it myself, but  I'm not   so much into  Character bottles   ( also   short  of  cash   these  few  months)

I attach  some  low -res   pics ( high res  pics  on  request by private  email)

If  any one  is  interested  I can buy  it  for  you  and  ship  on   

Guaranteed    no commission 

Cheers   Peter

PS  :  Walter     there's also a   TOTALLY  SUPERB    Sun Zhongshan bottle  .  I  know Horace   will  drool  over it because  he  specializes  in  Sun Zhongshan  bottles.  But he  never replies  to my emails .   Perhaps   if you  email him  and  ask him to call me  I  can    show   the pics  of this bottle to him .  Then  he can make  a  private  deal   with   Li  Jihua .   HK   Mobile  9181-1333

Dear Peter,
   I'm VERY Interested! As long as the bottle(s) are under 75mm high without stopper, I'd buy two if there are two available. Please send high res. yokes. Thank you, Joey

[Peter Bentley 彭达理]

Hi  Joey

I  will send  you   hi -res  pics   by  private  email

Re  the   size,  I will   check  , but  yes   it  was a  "standard" bottle      about  60  cm  high     base  -to  -  stopper  top

Cheers   Peter

[Joey Silver / Si Zhouyi 義周司]

Peter, that is roughly 2 feet high! You mean 60 mm., don't you?
Shabbat Shalom, Joey

[Peter Bentley 彭达理]

Sorry  .....   60  mm  ( 6   cm )     =  2  inches

Normal size of  bottle

Cheers

Peter

[Joey Silver / Si Zhouyi 義周司]

  !  Just joking with you, Peter! I figured it had to be 60 mm!
Shabbat Shalom, Joey

[Peter Bentley 彭达理]

Hi Joey

If  you  are   seriously interested  I will email you   hi -res  pics

Cheers

Peter

[Joey Silver / Si Zhouyi 義周司]

Peter,
  I'm very serious, but will be in contact after Shabbat ends at 1830 my time. Best, Shabbat Shalom, Joey

Dear Peter,
    I was on a quiet day yesterday, sleeping, eating and praying. It was a way of recharging emotional, physical,  mental,  and spiritual batteries, after the stress and runaround on Friday, my late father's 15th memorial date.
   The Jerusalem Marathon complicated matters, forcing us to leave the city centre by 0615, when we had to be at the cemetery, 35 min. from Jerusalem only at 1100. We found a Synagogue to do morning prayers, went to breakfast, bought flowers, got to the cemetery, and washed the graves, and then the family came. We did memorial prayers, my brother spoke, a close friend spoke, we went to family who live nearby there (15 min. drive away) for a bite, returned to Jerusalem, 'entertained' more family, took everyone to a local hotel for their Fri.Eve. Shabbat dinner buffet (paid for ahead of time, since we are not allowed to use money on Sabbath), more 'entertaining', before everyone left at 2300, when I got on the internet and the Forum for an hour.
  I'm very interested in a bottle by LI JIHUA.
 I was NOT able to open the high resolution yoke. Peter, I'll be happy to get the info from you to open stuff.
Joey

Hi  Joey

Everyone else I sent the   USB  memory stick to   can open  it  immediately.

Maybe  your  computer  has a super-high-power    built in  anti virus program  which  rejects   anything external

If so,     you   should   take the  USB stick to a   computer  specialist  and    let him show  you  how to  open it

Seriously  -  this  is a  kindergarten    level  memory   stick  :  just      plug n  play : no more   difficult for  any  lap  top than to  play a   CD or  DVD

Cheers  Peter

PS : I note  you  are not  interested in the  Li  Jihua  bottle

Hi Peter,

I guess that Joey had some issue for downloading the hi-res images or bigger size files , because I sent him some files around 5M before which is zipped, and he had hard time to open it, did you zip files before sending it, that can also be a reason that he can't open it.

Just send him the jepg file without compressed

Steven

[Peter Bentley 彭达理]

Hi Steven

I  just sent  Joey  the USB   stick  with the  data base  on it     exactly the same  as I sent you

No  zipped  files  :  just   jpgs     grouped  into     sub-files

Cheers Peter

[Steven]

Hi Peter,

I think that he can't open the hi res image of the Li jihua bottle which you sent to him through the email, not the dB stick..

[KAZ]

Hi Peter,

Is the Li Jihua bottle still available ? I am interested in his bottle. Would you send me high res pics through my private address, please.  Thanks.

Cheers,

Misu

ps I am on business trip to Shanghai today and have only I-pads. So I will be able to open the images tomorrow night.

[Peter Bentley 彭达理]

Hi Steven

I  only sent Joey  a  lo- res  image of the  Li  Jihua bottle   as an attachment to    my  posting  on the  Forum

Misu  :

I will  send you a high res  pic    by private  email.  If you  are  in HK  later  this  month  you can see the bottle  in Tsim Sha Tsui  ( are   you  coming to  HK  ? )

Cheers

Hi Peter,

Thank you very much.
I am now scheduled to visit HK on 27and 28 although detailed schedule has not been finalized yet.
Probably I will have a dinner with my business colleague in the evening of 27th and will be free after the dinner.
I am happy if you would have time to go to a pub together.

Cheers,

Misu

[Peter Bentley 彭达理]

Hi Misu

It's  very likely I will  be in   HK  27  -  28  march  so  we can meet then  for a   drink

My mobile  is  9181-1333

I will send you  the  pics  later  today

Cheers  Peter

[KAZ]

Hi Peter,

Good ! I will let you know my more concrete schedule when available.
Anyway, I look forward to meeting you again soon.

Cheers,

Misu

[Joey Silver / Si Zhouyi 義周司]

Dear Peter,
   Sorry for the misunderstandings: 1. I can open the memory stick 2. I couldn't open the Li Jihua photos 3. I did/do want the Li Jihua bottle if it is still available. Is there only one example, or are there a number? If only one, let Misu/Kaz have it. If more, I WOULD like one. Hope this clears things up. And I WOULD like the info which will help me open stuff up.
Joey

[Peter Bentley 彭达理]

Dear   Joey..............

I only ever attached  a  tiny low  resolution  pic  of the  Li Ji Hua    character bottle  to my  Forum  posting

It  cannot  open up because  it's a  tiny   low  resolution pic   !   

I can send   you   a    high  res  if  you  wish  but ONLY by private  email  because   the max  attachment size  on the  Forum is   400kB

There  is only  one  such  bottle   now in HK  by  Li Ji Hua  (and Misu   will probably see it next week  when he is  in HK )  but     doubtless    Li Ji Hua   can  paint  more in the  the same  style/ quality

Over to  you.......

Cheers 

Peter
