Flask Identification Help

[buenaventura]

I've got this tall green flask with a long glass "string" wrapped around the neck of the bottle. It appears to have some oxidation/rusting on the surface of the glass, potentially from its age.

It's got an open pontil and a blob-y flared lip with some large bubbles in the glass.

Anyone know what sort of bottle this would be or any information on it, or the value. I saw it in my great uncle's basement (he used to dig bottles) and, even with my lack of knowledge, thought it was an interesting bottle!

I've attached images of the bottle below

It's a Persian saddle flask. The following site by Phil Culhane is very informative with regard to these type of bottles.
