Hi, all!
I found this big bottle and want to know opinions about it.
Has three mold sims. Two of them run from the base ton the neck and the other is circular oround the base.

As you can see in the first image; the lid is hand made.
Here is a close up:

There´s no doubt that it´s a mold blown, tooled finish bottle. But it has a sorprise for me in the base:

Nice looking Demi John, good color and nothing beats a pontil. Now give it a bath and get the junk out of it....[]

......three corks:
one of them is a conglomerate cork.
I think the bottle was public used till it was dismissed, then has a personal use and finally dismissed in the 1970´s.
Thanks in advance..Alex.
