I'm leaning towards this being a bad photo of an original bottle from that period.

 

Would you feel better if I got a hold of him so he can authenticate it? All I need to do is make a phone call and see what he's got to say about it.

 

edit- there's a couple of things about this that ring true if you have a little inside knowledge, but I'm gonna make a call in the morning for the hell of it. I agree, if it's a fake he should know and Burlingame is not far from where we grew up.

So it took five minutes to get a qualified opinion, and they agreed that it's real...but either way he wouldn't remember one bottle that probably took him fifteen minutes to paint ten years ago.

 

This actually makes sense, because I remembered that he painted my friend's messenger bag one night in 2000. As I recall it only took him 30 minutes to ride a half mile to his studio, paint the character then ride back and drop it off.

 

So yeah, it's probably real but it's way overpriced.
