the title of the bottle is 罗汉图 ( Luo Han Tu) which is on the 2nd picture you shown.

Basically, it will translate to Painting of LouHan, which is a status acquired by individual after they depart from earth when they achieve a certain level in Buddhism..... the highest level will be Buddha, and theres many many different level before one reaches the stage of Buddha..... so LouHan is quite elementary stage.

Its painted in the year of the water Rooster and most likely in 1993.... as 1933 will be too early for the bottle IMO. Also, its painted in Spring time. 癸酉 (GuiYou), year of water Rooster 春(Chun) Spring......... both side of the bottle has these 3 words that signify the time and year of painting.... No artist signature
