    I don't think it is very old or old at all. Made in China or somewhere else?
    Thanks

    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    Is it just me or is it a little crooked... that left handle. Is that a pontil mark on the bottom or just a glare? I think it's very charming. The glass has a wonderful sort of brindle color, if I'm interpreting the photo correctly.

    Everything is crooked :) I think made on purpose to look like old Roman like glass. Pontil scar partly ground.

    Looks like it sagged in the anealing (sp?) process (the cooling down kiln phase of glass blowing).

    I know it is common for Mexican glass to have pontil scars but how about ground marks?
