Early American ? Glasshouse?

Yep, I just saw another on a web site dating it as colonial 1780-1820 and from any New England glass house. My example is a much lighter shade of amber than the bottle shown on line site. It had some gunk in the base and light content residue I easily rinsed out. I will throw a couple...

Hello, Guessing this is a early New England free blown. Very crude lip possibly indicating young or amateur craftsmanship. Many glass blowers at early American glass houses were later trained by imported skilled glass makers from Germany. You can visibly see the top of the neck 1/4 inch...
