Never seen anything like it before. Not even sure it is Chinese like the bottle is suppose to be.

This is just another apocryphal seal script variant of 'Qianlong', the reign title of the Chinese emperor from 1736-95.

Best regards,

Thanks you two ..

I thought it might represent that, but looked so abstract.

That made me think it was some kind of newly done bottle and someone had a brain storm of an idea for a marking :)
