All, I'll weigh in here briefly.

Luke you are right about the Sima Guang motif.

Quote
Since there was a revival of Kangxi style motifs and type of decoration during Guangxu, most probably the bottle in question here is Guangxu, or a bit earlier.

Upon initial view I would agree with Giovanni's statements and dating. 

Lovely soft paste with some age, but not as crisp in the design and tonal elements that you generally see in a late 1700's to early 1800 piece.
