Hi Hoogenbosch, are you sure it is porcelain? it looks like from these photo's that it could be enamel on brass, the mark is a spurious four character Qianlong mark, I think this is from the 2nd half of the 20th century in my view.

Hello Stan,

you could be right with the brass and enamel (weight), only then there is also white enamel inside the bottle. I also found some white stuff inside (no powder).

Thanks for all extra comments
