Thank you for your reply Steven,

It is about 3 1/2 inches high by about 2 7/8 inches wide.

The white stuff on the base is paint from a shelf it was sitting on, I think.

I had read on this forum that Chinese lacquer bottles did not usually include the Qianlong marking, but Japanese put them on.

Have you seen a similar Chinese bottle from the Qianlong period?

If it is from that era, it would be a real treasure, but I would be very surprised if they marked the bottles "CHINA" at that time.  Unless it was added later.

Thank you for your information.
