Very large blue bottle with pontil spiral optic

I collect glassware which is why we bought it. I loved the color and it is so big. I thought about Blenko or even Kanawha or Pilgrim because of the color and the swirl, but the applied top is what stumped me. I'm not sure I am using the correct terminology. The glob on the top is so uneven...

Very large blue bottle with pontil spiral optic

We bought this at an auction just thinking it was beautiful. When we got it home and really looked at it we thought it was probably older than we had originally thought. We have searched and searched to find out information on it. The bottle is around 14" tall and around 8 and 1/2" diameter...
