Thanks guys for your useful comments.

In the meantime, I've found about 20 coloured examples in auction catalogues and books. The same contrast between coloured and white examples exists with recumbent lions. The white example is from my collection, the coloured one from an auction in 1985.

Joey: could all the commentators be wrong in attributing these bottles to China and the first half of the 19th century?

Best regards

Georges
