So I posted these on the antique bottle forum, but I wasn't very successful at posting the pictures there. :tongue3: So here I am. :laughing7:
I've recently discovered thrift stores and purchased these two bottles. I was hoping to get an age and ID for them, as I know very little about bottles.
Thanks a bunch! :)

Second one is a dark green bottle...about 9 1/2 inches tall. It's not perfectly rounded and is bubbly..doesn't sit very straight either. lol

Cool beans! Thanks for that info, Don! :)
 
The green bottle, Nana, has the general form of a wine carafe, but it is small (1/2 liter?) and in an unusual color for a carafe (most are colorless). Wine carafes are not usually footed, either. It may have been produced as a bud vase.
 
​Thank you, Harry. :)
