George,

Have to really look hard at the base picture of the bottle.  On my 24" screen I do see what appears to be cross-hatching. 

Cathy,

If indeed ivory I too would value this bottle as a nice addition, and as a decorative piece given it's size and apparent weight.  Heavy (?) infers that it is not well hollowed.  But given the extent and detail of the design I would understand why.
