Picked this up at a show today. Marked at $20.00, I traded a cracked hutch from New Orleans for it. Both the dealer and I were skeptical on real age and use. It’s 5 1/2”H, is pretty thin glass, and will fit in my hand. It is as crude as it gets. The mouth looks like the slot or opening was purpose made and fire polished.as there is no damage to the mouth or the rest of the bottle. Open pontil and apparent wear on the bottom. Obviously free blown. No patina or dirt. Just some light white residue in the bottom.
I’m guessing a modern whimsy or a fake of a really old bottle. But…I’m willing to be convinced I found something really old. Any guesses?
