Dear Luke,

     Sorry to have to disappoint you just before your Feast, but the bottle is modern and not very good, in my opinion.
I have an 18th C. Enameled Porcelain with this subject, and it is so much better painted and enameled.  I might be wrong and it could be Republic (ca.1910-1940), but i honestly don't think so.

    Possibly Giovanni or one of the others who knows the later period stuff, can give you a more positive dating.
Again, Sorry.
Best,
Joey
