I searched a bit for comparable bottles and found some examples that are at least in design and shape quite similar, with main difference that the background is left open on these. They are all dated to the Qing dynasty, but I have no idea if that is correct...

Another one is in the catalog of Jill discussed in another thread on this forum, it is Nr. 74.

Although there are differences in colour and technique, I think my bottle is clearly related to this group... What do you think, is mine a later version, or just another version made at the same period when the other bottles were made? And are they really Qing? Thank you again for your thoughts!

PS. I did not have the time to make new pictures, but I tried to edit one so that the colours of my bottle are a bit closer to reality...
