It looks strikingly similar to the amber golden bottle above which also when I rechecked the listing which had ended had no base wear either. I am believing now they were made both made very recently (the last two months) in the same sweat shop in Mexico.Both of these are garbage and the sellers either stupid and gulible,or gulible and stupid.The second seller knows better as he has sold a ton of glass on ebay(Clevenger mostly).Even though it looks like he will get at least twenty for it,I am with Charlie its ugly anyway,why would you even desire it?

The only way in which these bottles are related is in their general shape.

New England globular bottles of the late 18th and early 19th century were made in a multitude of sizes.

the red one is likely a Clevenger Bros camphor jug without a handle.
If I need to back up my comment..."bozo" opinion..., I can provide a picture of same from a Clevenger catalog.

I am no expert by any stretch, but as long as personal opinions are allowed here, I will impose upon you my own:

Whether or not it is old or authentic, it just doesn't look nice. I do not like it. Lamp base maybe, but not a bottle of whisky on the table in 1800.. it may have been altered, but don't it show??

What Chuck is really trying to say is,it is ugly.lol[8D] I agree
