Dear YT,

Thank you, then we can learn, guess, proof/disproof carefully together Smiley it's a good idea to make wild assumptions from different angle, then prove/disprove each very critically. I think it helped me to learn quickly/deeply on whatever I got interested in.

These bottles are rare, in the important or fine auction catalog that I have (~10). I only saw 3 with composite flowers.
One a hulu lot 5 that looks too perfect June 1990 Sotheby's in London. One was not sold with a Qian Long year made carved mark, and the other (lot 194) for 460 pounds in London Dec. 6th, 1994  by Sotheby's. The color seems close to yours, with the large and small holes.

But, it is rounded form, 9cm tall, does not have two colors in a compartment and seems to not have the underfill concentrated on one side of the wires.

A key data point is still what the inside looks like.

I am not convinced one way or the other as the double color in a compartment and underfill concentrating on one edge feels odd to me. But, I don't have enough knowledge or experience to not defer to Steven + Charll (2 experts).

Kind Regards,
David
