its all good eric...its good everyone is giving it a thought... my big hope is that its real old..that would reenforce the thought that ya never know what ya might find at a yard sale..although i am not exactly rich lol..i like the idea of owning a really ancient piece of glass..not neccessarily the $$ of it...the only thing is i can look at all my nice antique stuff,but at the end of the day i still have to go do another drywall or paint job to pay the bills...long winded sorry...

Hi Dan,
I got your email tried to post here a half hour ago but had to deal with a problem work related.I believe you jar or bowl is original and could be quite old.
The tying in of the handles at the rim height of a vase or jar as in this case is seen often on ancient 3rd 4th and 5th century Roman and Persian glass particularly the Roman glass. I cant find a three handled picture on the web but the shape of these two jars is very close to yours. http://ancientglass.wordpress.com/2012/02/03/green-roman-trailed-jar/45r-green-trailed-jar-3-4th-century-2/ http://www.archaeological-center.com/en/auctions/49-306 Maybe you could send your pictures to Jane S. Spillman at the Corning Museum. Here is her contact information.

Jane Shadel Spillman

It could be they did. I think the Egypt and everything middle east was a popular subject for late Victorian through the Edwardian period and beyond of coarse.
