Thanks YT

I found another example of what appears to be this same overlay pattern on a bottle at Christie's.
I am attaching it here for reference.

Please compare and let me know what you think.
The bottle there is a red overlay on pale turquoise glass. So the differences are the colors, and the height of the bottle - the bottle there is 6cm tall and mine is 6.5, but the pattern itself looks very close to my untrained eye.

If you want to see it on the site, here's the link:
http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot/a-red-overlay-pale-turquoise-glass-snuff-bottle-5977573-details.aspx?from=salesummery&intObjectID=5977573&sid=34f584a2-ef14-41aa-9058-b47c26b20c07

Now it may be totally inappropriate for me to make a comparison like this - if so, please let me know
