Dear Kevin,
 
       This is why we need the best quality photos, in order to make a reasoned judgement. Thanks to the latest photos, I can see the quality of the carving, and would go back to a ca.1800-1880 dating.
       The photos were deceiving, and I assumed the visible incised detail was just to cover up its being mold-blown. Now I can see clearly that it is carved.
 Best,
Joey
