Dear George,
I am not expert on netsuke, but I suppose that all netsuke must have the two holes on the back, or not? If there are no holes, then it should not be meant as netsuke.
Dear Georges, by the new pictures I must say that it is a strange piece. That type of red, unless the color rendition of the picture is completely off, is far from Chinese palette. And that flaking off blue enamel…..hmmm, very strange. At this point, considering my ignorance on Japanese ware, I tend to think that your bottle could be Japanese, because it is off from Chinese standards as I see it.
Kind regards
Giovanni
