Nice bottles...

A red flag for me is hard to explain to others who have not worked with different agate and agate nodules.. But having worked with many agates, these type of bottles with different colored cameo carvings do not make sense to me.. Completely unnatural to me.. I truly think there is some dying going on to create these cameo colors.. I just have not been able to prove it  Wink

Different than when the carver "chases an inclusion" in order to create an image.. For that reason, I will estimate Mid 20th or later.. 

My favorite is the center one though !
