Three Bottles

[Windywood]

Am attaching three bottles - two I think may be dated from late 1800s to early 1900s. The third one looks like a small soda bottle with textured glass. Not sure about that one. Not looking for value. I am looking for a time period and what the bottle was used for. This is for a display. Thank you!!

The first is a 1910-20-ish jar which would have held capers or some similar small pickle. The textured one was likely grape juice, you can tell the difference between a soda and a juice bottle by the weight. Since soda was carbonated the glass had to be much thicker. The third one I have honestly no clue. It almost looks like the stopper to a fancy decanter which is sitting upside down, but I'd need to see pictures of the base and a close-up picture of the rim.

omg! You are probably right about the stopper. Never thought to turn it upside down! Attached is a pic of the top. I wondered why it didn't have a lip! Can you guesstimate the years for the stopper and for the soda/juice bottle? Thank you!!

Also, the first jar has a flared mouth. How did they stopper or put a lid on it?
thank you.

That one is actually an ink, I've seen some before, forget the name.

Thank you for your response! I thought it was an ink well at first, however, I cannot find any online that look like this. The ones on line seem to have a wider base and a lip on the opening, an this has no lip. Now I am interested in going back and researching inkwells again!

Update: I am finding ink wells/ink bottles that are a similar shape which they call "cone ink wells". I have found some with the same "no lip" straight top, and the ring below it. I cannot find anything with the embossed bubbles, and mine still seems to have a more narrow base.

It's vaguely similar in shape to a travel inkwell, those had smooth lips because they'd have a wooden or metal stopper fitting over them. I wouldn't expect one of those to have ornate embossing though, because typically they would fit inside of a little cylinder.

Could you post a picture of the bottom? And also a higher resolution image of that area just below the ring? It looks to me like there might be a horizontal seam there, which would support my stopper idea because it would mean it's likely ABM and probably past the era of inkwells shaped like that.

It's currently at my office, and so I will take pics on my phone and post them tomorrow. I know nothing about antique bottles, but the bottom is flat. I would think that if it were a stopper, it would not be flat and plain like that. Not at all pretty considering it would be the top of a decanter that everyone would see.... but once again, I have no knowledge of these. I have also tried Googling perfume bottle and scent/aroma bottle but have not seen anything similar to this. Thank you!

OK, I am attaching photos of the top, side(s), and bottom. I am also attaching photos of it as if it were a stopper. Hoping this will help solve the mystery! Thank you!

Also, can someone give me a time period estimate for the textured grape juice bottle? I can find nothing like it online. thank you.
