Jim, I think your orange-peel effect POSSIBLY may be from being dipped in hydro-fluoric acid. This was commonly done to removed sickness/stain in the 1970s before tumbling was commonplace. I have a local ponytiled med that has that same texture, maybe someone else has some experience with that????
Interesting thought, I guess I'd have to see another after someone tries it...

I wonder what they stored it in in the 1700's since there wasn't plastics back then...

By the way the inside is smooth like normal, the effect is only on the outside of the bottle...
