Aside from the dragon and foo dog themes..  Very similar to your last bottle shared.

As expressed in my posts, I do not have a good handle on glass bottles.  But I have seen many, many, many, contemporary glass bottles on ebay and at secondary auction houses that are similar to this bottle. From what has been expressed by other members on the Forum, the color is contemporary and thus so is the bottle.   Not bad looking for a new or newer bottle.

Yes, It is new or newer. The colour is not one that would have been used 1700-1950; the shape is not correct either, for a carved glass bottle of those periods (Kangxi to end of Qing; Republic of China; Peoples' Republic of China till 1950).
Nicely carved; interesting carved background, solving the problem of polishing the background surface.
