At least I have never seen this shape before.

It has not arrived yet, but best guess is 3 1/2" tall.

Still looking for a similar scene from within some books and journals, but not finding anything similar.

Can not make out the charactors.. Will have to wait until it gets here ..

Has anyone seen this shape before.. I don't think it is an old medicine bottle..

Hi George,

Interesting shape indeed, i guess would be a shandong school bottle, Ru ting can be a candidate for the artist. since I can tell the "ting " well. and style is close.

Wow Steven !

I think you nailed it !

I am finding other bottles by Ru with very similar scenes.

Might be my imagination, but I can almost make out the Ru charactor as well.

Thank you  Smiley

Kind of funny..

I have never seen this shape before, and now here is yet another one ..

Not sure what is up with the perfume style stopper.. Does not go to the bottle.

Who was the artist on this bottle?  I liked the unusual shape a lot, so wound up bidding on it and winning it.  Dating seems to be sin xi (1941 or 2001) but the style and color of the painting, in addition to the calligraphy seems to put it in the 1941 date.  But then again. it might have been painted in old style in 2001.  I can not make out the other characters enough to guess at the artist.  It seems to have been mimicking a perfume bottle.  Help appreciated as always.
