I bought this at a flea market today. What minor knowledge I do have of bottles points to really old, but I'm not certain.

It measures about 5 1/2 inches tall, the glass is pretty uneven in spots, The bottom has a scar on it, and the lip is maybe sheared or fire finished, it has these interesting pull or twist marks on the neck, which I tried to picture. Also when light is directly casted through it it looks like a pretty standard green color, but when in regular ambient light it takes on a strange tealish green - which the best i could try to show that is in the top right picture.

I paid under 10 dollars for it, so if it's not that old or of any worth I guess I won't be too heart broken.

but any input is greatly appreciated.

I'm gonna say that's a modern decorative piece. Made in some artsy region of Mexico, or another such place. $10 isn't so bad to learn a lesson, people have been burned a lot worse.
