Dear Joey,
 
 Many thanks for the post- how wonderful to have a vast resource on Chinese arts, and i'm sure many great bottles to hold, just steps away Smiley

 The concept of applied enamels to the grapes in design is what I wanted to show by the example, rather than "squirrel and grapevine" patterns 

 the way the foot and foot rim were made and w/ a deep recess at the center of the foot may help w/the question of age. In the post given below, the bottle would fit left of center in the 100yr continuum

Best,

Kevin
