Unusual Medium Blue Bottle

[Prairieronde]

Hello, I am new to the forum. I recently purchase this blue bottle which measures 8" tall and 5" at the base. It has a pronounced mold line on one side and slightly less on the other. The mold lines go to the base of the lip. The lip is a slightly different blue and there appears to be a seam where it meets the neck. There are also mold lines on the bottom,no pontil mark that I can see, and a slightly rough finish from small uneven raised areas. It has a number of air bubbles and inclusions. The bottle is fluted on the inside and smooth on the outside. If you look at it with a magnifier you can see what I believe are called, straw marks. I was intrigued by the unusual color and shape. Was hoping someone could help me with age and possible purpose.

Welcome and thanks for showing that.The only way I can think of to have smooth outside and ribbed on the inside is with two blows. First in a ribbed cup mold and then in a smooth two piece bottom post mold.It could be a fancy type cosmetic or toiletry or it could be a more modern decorator piece, I don't know, I've never seen one. I suspect more on the modern side.

Strikes me as modern. Pretty color though, and welcome to the site.
