Thanks all for the positive and affirming comments.  Kim Green and I had a few chats over the years, but never had the chance to develop a better friendship.  One on my regrets!    Charll

Dear John,

    You are correct. When I wrote '19th C.',
I actually meant ca. 1800 - 1850.
Best,
Joey

Beautiful Bottle Charll!  Kim and Jim always found some jewels like this one at Quinns Auction.  I always enjoyed listening to their discussions about particular bottles they were considering.  So happy you have this special bottle.

Joey, I would say 1800 to 1850. This next bottle [62mm] is from the Collection of Al Stempel. Good carving with a lot of longevity symbols.

Dear John,

  A beautiful blue overlay.
Thank you for posing it.
19th C. in my opinion.
Best,
Joey

Joey, thanks for showing everyone your beautiful bottle. This next example [71mm] is finely carved with small handles. From an auction in 2015.
