It has similar color to the Jamestown glasshouse reporductions but I dont see it in thier current collection. The style seems a bit like middle eastern import. Is the inside of the neck actually ground to fit that stopper? I would consider it a decorative item.

I think they're a different take on what I call Spanish Wine bottles. Like the ones with the small pocket for ice. Spain Mexico, Italy or somewhere else are possible.

It is an olive oil cruet. Very common around the mediterranean countries, where olive oil is produced.
