Hi George,


I can't figure out the Mark, it doesn't look like a region mark to me, at least, I have not seen one like this, those kind seal marks were most likely from Tongzi period and Guang Xu period or republic period, I thought its Tongzi mark, but not quite right.

It could be a personal mark.

Never thought about the possibility of a personal mark.. Have never run into that possibility before..

Can you take a guess for the age ?  Hopefully 19th or early 20th ?

What I meant to ask is if you think the bottle true to either Tongzi or Guangxu periods.. Making a possible date between the two reigns, 1861 up through 1908..

George,

It seem I've seen a series of similar marks to this in the past but have not had any success in relocating the reference.  Based on the appearance of the stamped mark, image design, clay texture(what I can see of it) and color palette used, it appears to me to be very late 19th century up to the first third of the 20th century.  This is solely based on looking at dates of similar bottle types and mark configurations.
