Dear Rube,

     It looks to me like something I saw on a bottle that was at least 80 years older than this one, though both were apple green Jadeite - the moon in scrolling cloudwork, with the character for moon, yue, incised on the orb!  Rick bought an early 19th C. Jadeite with a dragon and the sun, with the character for sun incised on it, and on the reverse, a phoenix and the moon, with the character for moon incised on it. Most probably made for a wealthy merchant, who needed the sun and moon labeled... Roll Eyes Grin

    Because of my Asperger's, I sometimes am too literal; glad it amused. Better than offending.
I just read about an Israeli MK (Knesset member) who has been trading insults with a Moslem member of the Jordanian Parliament (though adding 'moslem' to Jordanian might be redundant); they decided to have a fistfight in no-man's land by the Allenby Bridge between Israel and Jordan. HM King Abdullah II reined in his man, and Bibi Netanyahu ordered the Israeli to cease and desist.
Personally, I wish they'd met and fought. 
Best,
Joey
