David,

Sorry for the resolution and focus.

This bottle is authentic ( 真 )in the sense that the carver left her seal mark at the bottom of the bottle sent out in the earlier post. Incidentally,the carver is the wife of one of the Hebei Inside-painting Master, Zhang Ru Cai ( 张汝财 )。 I bought from her husband when he came to Singapore in the 90's to promote bottles by him and his students. So the overlay bottle was a 20th century piece.

According to Zhang, the glass color belongs to what the Chinese described as ' 藕粉色 ' ( color of lotus powder, literally translated ). i took it as a good translucent glass material.
