Dear Charll,
   Very interesting bottle! I thought at first that the 'turtle' was a duck, but then identified the cross hatched carapace. I thought it was being raped by the bird behind it. I didn't see the dragon tortoise till I looked at the slanted shot.
   I've seen many of these glass bottles, and they are late 19th C., but I have NEVER seen one carved before. Congratulations!
Joey
