Dear Giovanni,

      I got the impression that Charll thinks it is modern, in which case it is not hard to make a modern mold in plaster, or in extruded plastic even.  I also question its age.

Dear Charll,
if the bottle is molded, how it has been made the mold in your opinion? I mean, which is the way it has been made:
a) the mold has been carved, or
b) the mold has been made by doing the matrix of a carved bottle
Which is the more probable way in your opinion?
Giovanni
