Dear George,
 
    Why is it not just a carved single color glass bottle?  Where is the 'overlay'?
Best,
Joey


I do not have this in hand yet. But curious if anyone would like to guess from these pics if it likely this is actually an overlay ?  Thinking maybe will end up being an opaque black overlay over opaque base bottle. Does not seem like they would have shaped the base bottle thick enough to do all this carving..

Just not familiar with a bottle like this.


That is what I am unsure about.. It just seemed more likely an overlay because of how thick it is..  You may be correct Joey, and may well find once it arrives that it is not an overlay and in fact a solid piece..

If it is an overlay of same color, will I be able to see ( under magnification ? ) where the two meet ? 

I would like very much to find it a solid piece..
