George, Joey, and Steven,

Thanks again for comments regarding this bottle!  I agree with you Joey and George, about the uniqueness, I've never seen anything like it. Given the detail, I thought it might be old.  And Steven, so much for me trying to identify symbols of longevity, I thought it was a shou character, and lotus blossoms!  Glad to know about the characters and symbols for bumper harvest, and all potential dating.  I think there might be a marking on the bottom, so I'll ask my brother to remove the label and shoot a new pic of the base.

Cheers,

Rube.
