Curt has a unique glass bottle up for auction..  The spots do not run throughout the inner body.. Not an overlay, and not exactly sure what the process was for the end result..

Any way.. For those of you who enjoy glass imitating type bottles, you may like this one..

I think there is a good chance Curt's 19th century dating is correct..

Beautiful bottle !

George, the process is 'simple': blow the bottle in dark blue or purple glass; make a layer with the markings; cover with a clear layer of glass over, to protect the surface.
  It is a very nice example, from what I can see.
