I found this today at a yard sale never seen any thing like it
would like an opinion of age and value the guy i bought it from said his parents had it for 40 years there are no markings the bottom is sunk in, and has swirlls around it.
here is a pic of the bottom the man told me it was a wine decanter the bubble you can see inside the bottle with the stopper in it he said is where you put ice to keep the contents of the bottle cold

Hi Preditor - The man you bought it from was correct, this is a wine bottle/decanter. The bubble is indeed a place to place ice to chill the wine. In the early 70's, while in college, I worked part-time for a large liquor chain in Boston, and we sold these bottles with chianti wine in them. They sold for about $3.99 at the time! There was also some of the same type with a stem that was nearly 3' tall. If I only knew back then they would become collectible[8D] Some college students used these bottles to 'smoke', so Irish was partly correct.
