Yet the shape of this one seems more likely 1900 or newer.

George, 

like Pat, this is not may area but I have seen a number over the years.  Given how shinny the gilding looks I suspect much newer.  Compare the patina to links provided.

Also, remember that there is an ongoing discussion about whether very many older cloisonné and champlevé bottles have marks.  Though many would disagree, it was thought that older bottles tend not to have reign marks.

It is an attractive bottle, but I suspect quite new.  Charll
