It
is rare, but sometimes an extra nicely painted Modern bottle is signed
by an artist real name, or art name that there is absolutely no record
of.. An artist that in this case is of a much higher caliber than a
student. Perhaps not that of a Master,
but not far from it.. These painted bronze vessels are signed Zhang Yu,
and also signs off as, "Master of the Fine Craft Studio" ( 精艺轩主人 ) which
I learned means nothing more than it came from a small, maybe even a
one person studio. It is not dated, but estimated as recent as ten
years. The date and all the info above was shared with me by a couple of collector friends.. Thank you Steven, Richard, Peter, and Inn Bok.
