Subject:Translation of Chinese Inside Painted Snuff Bottle #3
Posted By: Kevin Donnelley Sat, Jun 16, 2018 IP: 69.127.29.199
Hello,
This is the 3rd bottle (glass) from the set which I recently purchased, and I am hoping someone will be able to translate the calligraphy for me.

H: 2 1/2"; 6.35cm
Thank you in advance for any help

Kind regards

Kevin

This appears to be another title, "Slopes beyond the walls at Qingshan" (Qing shan guo wai xie - 青山郭外斜).

There are a couple of prominent spots in China named Qingshan ("Green Hills" a.k.a. "The Good Life"), a district at Wuhan Municipality in Hubei Province and another one at Baotou Municipality, Inner Mongolia. If I had to guess, I'd say this may be meant as a depiction of scenery near Wuhan.

Best regards,

Bill H.

This is painted by an artist from the Shangdong painting school, centered around Beijing in late 19th/early 20th Century. With no signature, it is hard to say who painted it.
