Exerpts from A Collector's Book of Chinese Snuff Bottles by Bob Stevens. and
A new Look at Chinese nside Painted Snuff Bottles by J.H. Leung



"At the 1974 Canton Trade Fair a new school of inside painting made its appearance: the Peach River Painting Studio. ...
these (bottles) were merely vaselike containers making no pretense of being snuff bottles. ... The glass of these bottles is extremely thin." - Stevens

"When art work first resumed at the institute, the Cultural Revolution was still in progress and all works would be signed with
"The Peach River Painting Studio" instead of the painter's name. ... The studio also used used three other names: Ge Lang
- signed on figure paintings, Tie Fu on animal paintings, and Hong Sheng on landscape paintings."
