Dear Steven,
   
       I think George means 'early' for Shandong School, NOT for Inside Painting.
       Inside Painting started late 18th C. (YF Yang has a bottle dated 1797 (Ding Si), 2nd year Jiaqing Emperor), and Early Period continued till ca.1850. 
       

Yes,, early for Shandong is what I meant..

Thanks George for clarification. If we all agree with the bottle is a middle period bottle, then we don't have any argument. However I still suspect it can be a early period bottle painted in a shandong overlay bottle instead of in a quartz bottle as it normally was.  But only if the glass overlay bottle itself can be dated 1800 which I have a little doubt.

Steven
