Dear Grant,
   In the first two shots, the colour of the ruby red glass looks correct for old, but not the carving. In the rest, the colour looks wrong, but the base footrim looks good, and also the mouth.
   But I still vote for modern, but they are getting better at faking.

I tend to agree with Joey on this one.

I bet the color is right for ruby red, but the carving doesn't look right, specially the carving on the lotus flowers.

Most of the details discussed look quite convincing to me, except for the milky transparent base material. My experience has been that the old bottles tend to use either a solid opaque background, a completely transparent one, camphor glass or bubble-suffused glass.

That's just my observation, but I'm no expert on glass.
