What type of bottle is this?
I've had this bottle for some time now and no one can tell me what it says on it or what for sure it held at one time. It is a softer paste porcelain or ceramic of some kind with a raised pattern and various fired on enamel colors. On the bottom is a number marked D.797 and a pressed in before it was fired the number 605. It measures 3-5/16" tall and is 1-7/16" in diameter. It has much eye appeal when folk look at. They also comment how beautiful it is. I sure would like to know what the origin of this the writing on the scroll is from. I've looked on-line to compare it with Japanese and Chinese and they just don't look the same. Lately I've been thinking the writing on it isn't Asian at all, but some Europeans attempt to make it appear as Asian writing?
