Georges,
   I know Bernard Lavergne, having met him in Brussels at an Asian Arts Expo, and at functions of the ICSBS. He's basically pretty good, but from reading my catalogue (which I didn't write - Robert Kleiner did, and he is considered quite an expert in underglazed porcelains, and was also mentored by John Ault,  arguably the premier collector of underglazed porcelain snuff bottles), I get the idea that the bottles where the dragon's scales are just cross-hatched with a colour wash over (#6 in blue; #20 in red) are ca. 1860-1900,  or possibly 1850-1890.
