Dear George,

       If you mean that there are two shades of black, that of the base bottle and that of the carved layer; sure, you should be able to see where the cutting goes from one shade into the other.
      If however, the glass is all the same shade, it is simply carved monochrome glass. No need to use the word 'overlay', since, in effect there is NO overlaid different glass.

      To me it looks like a carved black Glass bottle imitating  carved Jet.
Best,
Joey

Thank you Joey..  I will post again when it arrives, but I think you are correct about the imitating of Jet.  Jet was the one that stood out the most likely for me too..
