Yes, congratulation Ming! Also, noticed this one and a few other blue and whites on ebay from the same seller.

Regarding the age of the bottle, I believe one dating clue is to look at the trefoil decoration around the neck of the bottle. With that particular design with the extra dots in between the bottle should be post 1855 - as that was the earliest date that decoration appeared with the extra dots(I could be 5-10 years off here as I don't have that particular book to hand right now). If I had to guess, I'd give your bottle a date of 1860-1910.
