Bought a bottle and I am pretty sure it is a sake bottle. It stands 10 1/2" tall and has 3 different scenes with beautiful asian women in each. Thanks for any help because there isn't any identifying marks on bottle.

One other purchase from the same estate sale is this. It has an Asian symbol or letter in the lower right corner above signature.

I tried the Google image search one more time, and this time I was successful. It appears that all three images are based on art deco illustrations from the early 1910s.
The artists are both French: Georges Lepape (red dress on swing, apple tree) and Charles Martin (table).
The three illustrations can be seen here, with additional info provided:
Georges Lepape's artwork titled La Balancoire presented by Artophile
Georges Lepape's artwork titled Le Verger presented by Artophile
Charles Martin's artwork titled La Surprise presented by Artophile
And here's a biography of Lepape:

By the way, that's a really cool bottle. Good find.
