This one I think is a beauty! ....... I bought her at a flee market in Chinatown in Singapore in late 1990's. It is probably made for tourists,...

Arne,

In my opinion your are right on both counts in the statement above.  A higher grade "tourist trade bottle" of above average quality, and I feel a very nice collector piece.  A nice crisp and fresh 4-character Quainlong (1736-1795) reign mark.   

From the stand point of contemporary pieces, this would measure up to a quality level of many of my contemporary interior painted snuff bottles, which many of us collect.
