Hey forum,

Hey, welcome.
It's fairly obvious to me that it's a repro or fantasy bottle but very well done. The design was used in many countries and yours is made to look older that it is in my opinion. If I had to guess, I'd say Italy.
Sorry, it's probably not the answer you wanted and hopefully I'm wrong.

Hey Blockos,

Welcome to the A-BN pond. There's some good fish stories, Over Here.

Looks like the gaffer was seized by indecision on the finish of that one.

Well I have to agree with Eric. However, if you wanted a fish bottle to sit on a shelf - you couldn't melt the glass batch and make it yourself unless you knew how - so it is interesting and what i would consider Art Glass. The maker had to know what he was doing so that gives it a $ 20.00 minimum value. Thanks for showing us what is out there. RED Matthews

I agree with the above but I like it, it's an nteresting piece. I would be interested in obtaining it for a Grandkids collection if it is available.
