no mold, marks and air bubbles so i guess it's blown. The base is completely round and it doesnt stand on its own. light green in color. There is no markings, not a single letter or number. I'd like to know what it is and value i guess even though i doubt there's any. Sorry some of the pics didnt come out good

A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. [:D][:D][:D]

That is a wine bottle that used to have wicker around it and a little platform on the bottom so it would stand up. Mid 20th century, not much collector value. Not American, maybe France, Italy or Mexico.

Any idea how long they have been around, only because I have two and one has seems and the other does not.

since around 1880's, they were often hand finished into the 1930's

Thank you epackage, you have been very helpful here and with my other questions as well. I hope to have some more trivia up for your expert opinion in the near future.
