Hi Grant,

It looks good to me, but need to see the detail of the carving.

Dear Grant,
     Yes, I would reckon modern. The shades of the colours are wrong for old bottles. The green, yellow, and light red are all wrong. The Ruby red looks right, and the dark blue, as well. But if part is modern, all is modern. Having said that, it is a beautiful modern example.

Hi Grant,

A very attractive bottle. But a word of warning...

You need to be very careful when buying modern bottles made of 'camphor' glass, like the one in your post. I find this type of glass appealing, and bought quite a few modern examples around 8-10 years ago. Unfortunately, and unknown to me at the time, this glass is often poorly produced, with the result that it is chemically unstable. Virtually all of my camphor glass bottles developed stress cracks 4-5 years after buying them. Many are now falling apart, despite being stored in ideal conditions.

I hope this does not happen to yours. Just be wary.

Tom
