Frank,
Welcome to the Forum!
I'm not qualified to guess, but I'll take a stab anyway:
It looks like this bottle is not old Yangzhou and I'm basing my opinion on the fact that the polish seems too rough on the blue glass. Usually a key characteristic I think is very fine and delicate detailing.
Cheers,
Rube
