I.Nagy, thank you so much for your quick reply! That is great info.
I have to clarify that the first 2 photos I posted are the same bottle (with mountains), but I made a mistake and posted the 3rd photo ( butterfly) of a different bottle altogether. That's why the dates are conflicting. Sorry about that.I will try to post the other photos of the Butterfly bottle later.
But great to know the dates on both.
Is that all the the inscription indicates is the year it was painted/made?
I do have another question if you or someone might know; is the red chop mark usually the artist name?
Thank you again for the translation and for your time! I so appreciate the help I find on this board.

Re your question on chop marks.
Well-known regular and guest painters sign their names. However, those who do the serial job do not sign their works. They only use marks which are unidentifiable for outsiders.
The inscriptions always indicate the date of painting.

With regards,
I.Nagy
