Anyway, so I am posting pictures of it, and what fascinates me (and the reason I bought it) is the teeny tiny calligraphy on the front. The drawing is very nice too! I measured it and the longest line of calligraphy is only 7/16ths of an inch! The bottle measures 2 and 14/16ths of an inch without the top.

Dear Cathy,

If you like inscribed calligraphy, then looked out for micro engravers like Zhou HongLai in the late Qing period.

Attached is one of my porcelain bottle.

Cheers,
