Tumble it to make into beach glass, real period beach glass sells like hotcakes on eBay and Etsy. If you could figure out the grit to make it matte just like bleach glass you’d have a constant source of income.

You have tumbled this bottle? It’s a beautiful piece, it would be nice to see the before tumbling picture. You discovered this mud larking?
