Thanks you all sharing the experience, I have been enjoy to read all the comments!

After seeing the new pictures, I actually think the bottle is an overlay instead of applique bottle. there is many little details tell the story, I have to agree the carving on the bottle is not so common way , the overlay is thicker than usual, and the cut is mostly straight down instead of carving the certain angles.

In the last picture, we can see the white base was cut deeply along with the overlay layer. other small spots also can tell the sign of being cut.

Its just my observation, two cents worth. Let's keep it going.
