Dear David,
     You nailed the description almost perfectly, but in my opinion the bottle is 1980s onward, not late 19th/early 20th C. as Steven thinks. The red looks wrong, the carving looks wrong, and the shape looks wrong.
Except for those three issues, a great bottle!  Grin  Wink
Keep studying.
Incidentally, 'snowflake', 'camphor' and 'bubble-suffused' glass, is all the same. The first two are terms used by dealers and collectors, the latter a more scholarly term and  meant to sound more scientific.
Best to all,
  Shabbat Shalom,
     Joey
