<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dawnno, post: 613905, member: 10171&quot;]So, yesterday, I had zero knowledge about glass bottles.&nbsp; Today, out of an auction lot of 26 bottles for $1.50 on which I took a chance, I started the process of learning about machine and hand made bottles, and found lots of great research resources.&nbsp; So this one puzzles me and was the only handblown one of otherwise machine made bottles (mostly whiskey ca 1910 - 30s, and about a 1/4 medicinal). </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s an unusual shape, 7 inches tall, relatively light, glass quite clear, bubbles not excessive and quite small, flared lip, open pontil scar bottle.&nbsp; No markings.&nbsp; Base isn&#039;t quite flat so it wobbles a little.&nbsp;&nbsp; The shape seems to be molded after blown. </p><p><br /></p><p>The open pontil scar and flared lip suggest 1800&#039;s, but specialty bottles might still be hand blown today and be imports.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anybody recognize the use - liqueur? a tonic?&nbsp;&nbsp; and can anybody narrow the period/date from between ancient Rome <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> and today?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]180260[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]180261[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]180262[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]180263[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]180264[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]180265[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
