Here is the nebulous, identifying sales pitch.
“This Auction is for an Awesome Fine Example of a SUPER Pontiled Patterned Flask and of an Awesome Deep Teal Color. (MINE IS PURPLE!!!) This Flask Bottle is one of my bottles from my Personal display case and is one of the Finest Examples and Hard to find on eBay. It matches a STIEGEL Description but I do not know the maker or the age, as it is not marked. (I CAN’T FIND A MARK ON MINE…SOON TO BE YOURS…EITHER.) This Perfect Flask is about 6" Tall of a Gorgeous Deep Teal Color. (AGAIN, THIS ONE IS PURPLE OR AMETHYST AND SEEMS TO STANDING JUST OVER
5 ½†TALL.) Found 2 small-unradiated Potstones that add to its Wonderful Display. (I SEE 4 MYSELF IF POTSTONES ARE THE LITTLE PIECES OF WHAT I CALL ASH IN THE GLASS, AND THE 4 I SEE ARE SO SMALL THAT I CAN’T EVEN MEASURE THEM WITH MILLIMETERS NOR CAN I GET A DECENT SHOT OF THEM WITH MY CAMERA…ALL FOUR WON’T EVEN TOTAL A MILLIMETER IN DIAMETER IF BUNDLED TOGETHER.) It has a Perfect Refired Lip on a slightly askew neck. Has Nice Stretch Marks in the Neck to shoulders area. (YEP, THE ONLY TIME STRETCH MARKS ARE SWEET, LOL, AND THIS FLASK HAS QUITE A FEW ALONG THE NECK ANSD SHOULDERS.) The Pattern Begins Immediately at the shoulders of a DIAMOND WITH DAISYS (daisies) INSIDE PATTERN ABOVE RIBBED FLUTED BOTTOM. The Base Bears a Pontil Scar with Shearing from the snapping off of the Blow Rod along with Wear Marks on its High Points as each ribbed panel hits. (THAT ENTIRE SAME HERE.) This Beauty is Offered in excellent condition with No Damages except for an open bubble in the neck which is not damage, just happened when it was made as the topical bubble burst. (THIS ONE HAS NO AIR BUBBLES MEANING THAT THE GLASS WAS SUPER HOT WHEN THEY BLEW THIS ONE.) Has a content ring on the bottom that should easily wash out, I just did not have the time. (THIS ONE IS CLEAN AS A WHISTLE ONLY BECAUSE MY BOTTLE BRUSH CAN REACH INSIDE.) What an AWESOME Scarcely Seen Flask of a Gorgeous High Demand Color for the Flask Collector.â€
Folks, please take a look at the pictures, grab your books and do some research. Like I stated earlier, I don’t collect flasks…it just so happens I have several that will be up for grabs in the immediate future. So, if you like what you see, please add me to your favorite sellers list and feel free to bid. All of my auctions are true auctions.

I think your photos may be too small to judge the item.

I don't know Joel... I'd have to see that one in person to want it for a collection. You would really have to see it up close, touch it, feel it, experience it... if you were going to spend a lot of money on it...[:-]
Just a thought,

Wayne is right, this piece needs to be held. I am guessing that this is a reproduction of the the Steigel diamond daisy pattern, which was blown in PA during the 1770s. Have it looked at by an expert... the difference in value is roughly $7000! But my guess would be a clevenger 1930s reproduction.
