The still life presented on this bottle has an austere elegance and is very much of scholarly taste. The subject and applied color palette often appeared in Zhou Leyuan’s work. It is unusual ,however ,to see an inside-painted work as of such fine quality as the present example free from any inscriptions. It is possible that the bottle was painted by one of Zhou Leyuan’s accomplished students or followers.
