Great to find this site! Just wanted to say hello and thank everyone in advance for any help or input provided.As a newbie, I obviously have an awful lot to learn and appreciate your help. So... can anyone tell me what this is? Is it a bottle or a decanter? There are no seams and a few bubbles in the glass here and there. The bottle is short , stout and heavy. My home was built in 1790 in upstate NY. This bottle was found on a shelf in a corner of the basement. http://imgur.com/eVcl9VJ,QazEVNu,yU6h0pJ
