Thank you! From what I can see, the sandwich glass seems to be consisted of 3 layers. The first bottom layer is white, the middle is pink and the outer layer is white again. This is clearly seen in the pic shot from above showing the bottle's opening. Anyway, YT and Giovanni, I'm really impressed by your ability to ascertain its age. So why do you think this is a bottle made in our days? How can you tell that? And Giovanni, how did you find out yours wasn't that old after all? I'm really looking forward to learn more from you guys! Thanks!

Dear Samson,

'Sandwiched' does not mean clear layers literally.
Look at the mouth opening of my other bottle attached. The swirl of different colours combine with the carvings to create that perfect snuff bottle.
Your bottle clearly shows modern technic of overlay.

Giovanni has years of experience while I have only started not long ago. I have seen the actual Imperial Lotus Glass bottle which used to belong to Joey. Your bottle is a copy of it.

Cheers,
YT
