What type of bottle is this? I found it many years ago...

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 hard paste porcelain 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 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 pretty 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. Its just some kind of fung-shway to me.

Thank you for any help,
Grant

I sure hope I posted the photos correct. "It's my 1st try"

Almost looks like a funeral urn to me, but too small I would think. I dont know though....it also screams Japanese to me as well due to the floral designs, but you are saying you cant match up the writing. Perhaps Korean or Thai? Good looking piece though!
