Thanks for the comments. I do like this one for it's painting and size.

Not sure about the stopper material except that it isn't glass. It could be Sunstone.

I'm also not convinced about Xin Yong Tian as the detail is different and might suggest Mei Fa/Shi San. The bottle style was very popular late 19th/ early 20th Century and could well have been medicine bottles bought up by studios for painting.

Regards, Adrian.
