Hi Rube,

It's a little hard to see from your pictures but I'm wondering if that is more of a water dragon of some kind than a carp. The face seems too complicated to be a carp.

I have a overlay bottle with a carp on one side and lotus flower on the other which is elongated like yours but mine is on a more normal raised footrim so looks less balanced in shape as yours has the overlay continuing to form the foot so is broader at the base which looks better to my eye. It adds more visual weight to the base than on mine.

Regards, Adrian.
