The marking on the bottom is one clue. The Crownford China Co made a bunch of modern reproduction bottles. The original Hartshorns base would not be embossed with text.

OBVIOUS FAKE IN THE COLOR AND BOTTLE JUST LOOKS TOO NEW AND YEP CROWNFORD GIVES IT AWAY. THEY ALWAYS MAKE THEIR REPROS. IN UNREAL COLORS,LIKE A "KICKAPOO INDIAN OIL "[?I THINK IT WAS OIL] I ONCE HAD IN YELLOW. JAMIE
