“Flying Fairy (Feitian)”, “Five-Star” and other packaging nicknames serve only as index terms. Any conclusion about period, version or producer must be supported collectively by the front and back labels, sealing film, printed code, box label and provenance documents.
Details to verify first for an older Kweichow Moutai collection
First confirm the official name, visible markings, specifications, accessories, present condition and provenance. Keep items seen, not seen and pending verification in separate fields. This page does not use market figures without item-level evidence or treat a similar online image as a conclusion about an individual bottle.
- Transcribe the entire front-label design and wording exactly as shown, rather than entering only “Flying Fairy (Feitian)” or “Five-Star”.
- Use separate fields for the back label, producer name, volume, ABV, standard code and batch or date code.
- Photograph the cap, sealing film, ribbon, box label, cups and booklet separately.
Separate the item record from its provenance
- A market nickname is not an official version name and does not establish a fixed period.
- For a printed code, record only the visible characters and their position. If it is unclear, mark it “additional photograph required”.
- Do not create a packaging chronology table without support from the producer or contemporaneous catalogues.
Older Kweichow Moutai: frequently asked questions about archiving “Flying Fairy (Feitian)” and “Five-Star” markings from the item itself
Why does “Older Kweichow Moutai: Archiving Flying Fairy (Feitian) and Five-Star Markings from the Item Itself” not give a single market price?
For “Older Kweichow Moutai: Archiving Flying Fairy (Feitian) and Five-Star Markings from the Item Itself”, a single figure would mislead without samples matching the version and volume, with similar condition and transaction dates, and calculated on the same basis for fees. This page therefore retains only identity and provenance fields that can be verified.
Can an online listing with the same name be treated as the same version?
No. At minimum, align the official product name, year or batch, volume, ABV, labels, closure, accessories and market of sale.
What should be done first when the records are incomplete?
Preserve the item as found and take additional photographs of all visible markings. Do not clean or unseal it, and do not fill unseen fields with assumptions.
