Thank you Steven!

Interestingly enough I have found the red bottle's "mother" sold at Case Antiques in 2012. It's a 7" tall version with a six character Kuang Hsu mark on the base. The man I bought the miniature red vase from lives not far from the auction house. I will have to ask him if he used to own a larger version.

Regardless of whether the red one is old or not, I am fascinated by the detail and quality of the painting so I plan to keep it and find out as much as I can about it. I would really like to figure out the calligraphy on the base, if anyone could translate it.

Oh! Look what else I found:
