Hi Albert,

Congratulations on your first bottle!
I have a very similar one I bought in 1972 in London. It was my third bottle!

These bottles were produced in large numbers in Hong Kong between 1967-1975. The front always has a low relief carving of 1-2 figures, and the reverse is etched with a landscape and a short inscription, then filled with black ink.
The text is sometimes signed "Yu Fu" (渔父) and followed by a seal in red.

Here is an example from that group.
