Cathy,

You reference a past auction with a similar bottle (i.e., the Rice bottle).  It appears to me that these were likely made a sets using various inset materials.  They may have been initially sold as a pair, or maybe even as a larger set number depending on the inset materials used.  The 2011 auction bottle references this as a 20th century bottle, and I agree with Giovanni and Joey on the age.  I however would have said roughly 1975 or a bit later.  I agree it is a nice contemporary piece and a novel design.

If I may ask, which auction did you acquire this bottle from?
