I am not sure if I have been understood correctly. Let see. The layers are thin layers applied on the body. So each layer is absolutely parallel to the layer below it, until reaching the body. So each layer is parallel to the body. Right? There are no doubt about that. Now dear Marcos, the direction of the petals as you have shown in your two last pictures is at about 45 degrees from the AXIS of the bottle, or from its base if you wish. But at that position the petals are parallel to the outer surface of the ovoid body, if we could see it. Don’t you agree? So, the layers within the recessed area of each petal MUST look like those seen in the picture that you took from the website  https://www.realorrepro.com/article/Cinnabar, i.e more or less concentric oblong circles. The only areas on which we should see the layers stacked as we see on the petals of your bottle are the vertical areas (vertical referred to the surface of the body) like for example the sides of the character Shou.
