While typing, Marcos found the comparison bottles .. Good job Marcos !

Another amazing piece of detective work Steven !   Sure a striking resemblance between the Woodcutter paintings ..  Seems like a perfect match and by the same hand.

I hesitate to comment about the calligraphy, but there seem to be some noticeable differences ...  I do understand and see your observation for the mouth, and I might include that the base as well is different than most.. The wide mouth is sure a plus for early bottle.

Have never seen any bottles with multiple panels as this labeled as medicine bottle before.. But most bottles I compare for possible previous medicinal use are via Raymond Li's books.  Not to say is not possible and certainly an option.
