Can anyone help me identify this ...glass?
Is it common? Is it for wine or spirits drinking? Value?
Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like a small freeblown glass. Age? 5 years to 500 years old, hard to say with peices like that. It appears to have a tooled lip which may mean its on the newer end of that range. Older glasses i have seen either have a rolled or fire polished lip.

Hey Carlos, Early blown glasses were far more common in Europe than the New World. Yours has a very fine finished lip and looks like a quality piece and was probably used by a doctor or apothacary.

They are quite rare.
Newer pieces tend to de clearer and without a push up.

Thanks Warren. I read you were in Spain in the AF.
This glass looks the same kind of glass used in early italian and french bottles.
