That seems to be the case with these bottles. I have had evidence from a couple of these (not in my collection) that were known to be at least 90 years old in 2010. The probable date of these bottles is 1910-1920. The painting style and subject matter is certainly in agreement with that dating. That also dates these three artist Ru Ting, Shi Yuanshan and Liu Qiao to this period as well. |
