Subject:Signature on Snuff Bottle
Posted By: bokaba Thu, Sep 08, 2016 IP: 172.250.142.6
Can anyone read this signature? It is on an inside painted snuff bottle. I think the first character is "xu," but that is as far as I can get.

The characters read down as: 己未冬月 旭晔作 - (Ji wei dong yue - Xu ye zuo), "Done by Xuye in the 11th lunar month (Winter) of the Jiwei cyclical year (1979)".

Another Xuye-painted snuff bottle, done in the winter of 1981 (cyclical Xinyou year) is shown at the link. This artist is indicated to be female, full name Zheng Xuye (郑旭晔), a native of Beijing who began studying painting in 1971 and has been recognized by the United Nations with a Folk Arts & Crafts award.

If you'll search Google Images using the artist's full name 郑旭晔 you'll come up with much more information.

Best regards,
