Inside Painted Chinese Snuff Bottle / Yi Fan / Guo Zonggen

Not a big collector of Very Modern ( VM ) painted bottles. Although the exception are those painted using the same fundamentals applied with traditional methods as used by the Great ancient Master artists of scroll/silk paintings.. I will likely purchase more of the same landscape themed bottles in the future.

Like these landscape scenes painted by Guo Zonggen, and signed using his art name, Yi Fan, dated 2004. 

The actual painting surface/area is only 1 1/2" X 1" ..

Script reads in part, "visiting a friend, a retreat/place to stay in Autumn".
