Dear Rube,

     The potting on that bottle makes me think it could be Daoguang [1821-1850] or early Xianfeng [1851 - 1861].  But if it is from this later reign, it can't be later than 1857, since the Taiping troops, who'd occupied Jingdezhen in 1855, in 1857 destroyed the whole town, and murdered most of the 20,000 inhabitants, when forced to withdraw by Imperial Qing troops. Jingdezhen was not rebuilt and repopulated till after 1865.

    The potting on yours is later - from 1890 to 1930 [late Guangxu {till 1908} or Puyi {1909-1911}, or Republic {1911-1949}.

    The subject matter does indeed go back earlier than I thought.
Qi Baishi [1864-1957] was painting from 1884 to his death in Sept. 1957.
Best,
Joey
