Hi Steven,

I love the colour on your bottle! The overall shape, mouth, lip and foot details suggest 20th century to me, second half. But it could be earlier - really hard to say from photos.

Hi Luke,

You are correct - there is a strong correlation between my lapis and those slender enamelled porcelain bottles. The style was popular from around the mid-Qianlong to the end of the Daoguang period.
