Rube,

I concur with Joey's dating. And I love the fact that you have your great-grandmother's painting to associate with the bottle.

Even with the new photo it is still hard to tell exactly what the object at left of the phoenix is supposed to represent. To me it looks like a figure skater with a fish bowl over their head, but I doubt that is what the carver had in mind.
