Freeblown?

[sscokebottles]

It is very crude and uneven in shape, with a chipped all around lip. It looks like there's some sort of pontil on the bottom but I'm not sure. Can someone put an approximate age on this bottle? I think it's freeblown...

Is there a seem on it?

 

[sscokebottles]

No, there isn't a seam. Forgot to mention that.

I'd say freeblown, with probably a tool to help make the sides straight. Age anywhere from late 1700s up to about 1860 ish.

Hello saraatogadriver;
t always figured the early bottle makers straightened the sides by rolling the glass puff on their marver table.

Seems reasonable, and you'd know better than I.
