Please anyone correct me if I am wrong. I have a bottle which is dark green no markings just a large in dent in bottom of bottle. Is it called a pontil ? Anyone know what I have here.

the deep impression in the base is called a "kick up base" a pontil is a rough area in most cases with some jagged glass left on the bottom of a bottle

Bottlenutboy is right about the deep "Kickup".
A better picture of the bottom would help to see if there is a pontil mark.
