Traditionally the embellishment on bottles like this is usually attributed to the Tsuda family of Kyoto, Japan, working between 1900-1940. However, on this example the painted gilt decoration is of an exceedingly high quality, possibly suggestive of a Chinese artist working at or soon after the latter part of the eighteenth century.
