Dear Giovanni,

Thanks for sharing your insights, its great to have a discussion like that.

I did agree  with Adrian that the junctions between the overlay and base layer are too clear, while the carving is too rough compared with the old bottles, so I put a late date on the bottle. But I also see your points as well. I agree that better photos will help to identify the bottle.

Cheers,

Steven
