I think you misunderstand Giovanni's remark about the circa 45 degree angle.  First let me say that with a molded bottle all surfaces are in their original state. 

If your bottle were a carved lacquer example we could explain the various surfaces using the attached image:

1.the green arrow points to a surface that would be at a circa 90 degree angle to the original outer surface before carving

2. the two black arrows point to outer edges of one 'carved out' petal and the yellow line is at approximately the deepest area of that petal.  I would say that the angle between either of the black arrows to the yellow line is roughly 45 degrees and that is why it would be possible to see the layers on that surface area.
