handblown bottle...what kind?
I picked this up today at a thrift store. Can anyone tell me what to call this? Is it old, new, a certain style or attributed to any one specific artist? All I know to call it at the moment is an art glass bottle. It is red and clear, lots of bubbles, and has a nice pontil at the bottom. I think it's a cool bottle, just want to know more! Thanks!

I don't think that this pretty little bottle is an old one.
This is from Kovels.com:
Amberina, a two-toned glassware, was originally made from 1883 to about 1900. It was patented by Joseph Locke of the New England Glass Company, but was also made by other companies and is still being made. The glass shades from red to amber. Similar pieces of glass may be found in the Baccarat, Libbey, Plated Amberina, and other categories.
