I've looked for information about these vases and the only matches i found was with the Qianlong Dynasty but the marks are not exact. That is what raises the ? in my mind. They appear to be hand painted.
This is a round brass flask that is 3 3/4 inches x 2 inches, the spout is another inch, the total size is 4 3/4 inches high. Both front and back have an armored knight on a horse with several decorative borders including a border that is raised around the perimeter. The flask has feet on the bottom to stand it up. There are what appears to be a coat of arms on either side, the flask has a chain to hang it from. There is also a chain attached to the stopper.
looks like it was made around late 1800s or early 1900s
