Here is a side by side comparison of a bottle sold on Christies, my bottle, and the one just sold on ebay

Side by side I can see that mine doesn't belong, but I don't see the difference between the bottle from Christies and the one just sold on ebay.
What is it about it that clues you that it is wrong?

Both are underglazed, so it's a good comparison.
I think the color can be discounted because you can't account for different lighting conditions in the photography or whether or not it's been sitting in the sun or not.
The painting is very very close except on the jar there is a border at the bottom. Is that an indicator of a newer bottle?
And then there is the bottle itself. Is the base not worn enough?

It would be so helpful if I could zone in on what you see that I don't
