Hi, this is a bottle not dug from a thrift store. Pretty sure just a bottle made to look old....any confirmation appreciated. Thanks

About size of half a milk bottle. No id, a few air bubbles and light signs of assembly line wear. A few diameter rings etc.. is this a copy or decorative modern glass? thanks

Did not pay much it just looks neat. Sure a copy not sure.

It looks old with those bubbles. But nothing on the bottom? Is there a seam mark at the top of the bottle? I like it, it's pretty.

Thanks. re seam well it looks like a top seam some glass overflow. Looks like applied or made to look applied? no writing on bottom. No seam bottom just a guess.Probably made to look old? The inside appears smooth near top.

I would call it a Turn Mold, tool topped bottle.
Most likely made in the late 1800's, early 1900's.
Turn mold bottles were made by turning the bottle in the mold after blowing to wipe the seams off the bottle making it more presentable.

Thanks ,when saw this in a thrift store, the price was worth buying. I did kind of think was a modern made.. like present time. but may be old after all.
