Dear Frank,

     If Giovanni says the Cloisonne has appropriate wear, than I will change my opinion about it and put it back to ca. 1880-1930. It is simple enough a design to be genuine, but I am not familiar with the shape, so was wary.
The other three look VERY modern (ca. 1980-2010 or at least 6 months before you bought them, whichever is later).
This bottle CAN'T be a genuine Yangzhou Seal School bottle - the overlay is very thin and delicate on those.

    Best,
Joey
