    It is surprisingly difficult to photograph inside painted bottles. So unfortunately my photography doesn't do this bottle justice.

    The painting is by an artist called Liu Qiao, he was a student of Yong Shoutian, and I believe he also painted a lot of battle scenes on mother bottles that he attributed to Yong Shoutian, but that is a different story that I will post with another bottle.

    This one is also what you would call a "mother" bottle. It's 8.6cm tall which is rather large for a snuff bottle.

    It has a typical theme for this artist, which is people (mainly women) in very colorful scenes.

    I really like this painting, and think the stopper adds a lot to it as well. It appears to be a red gemstone of some kind with a spinach green jade collar.
