had this tucked away, and recently remembered where it was. its an aqua glass with small bubbles within the glass itself. i cant find a seam whatsoever, the mouth of the bottle is slightly off-centered. and the lip has what i call a grain that goes around the circumference of itself, i think this might mean the lip was hand tooled, im no expert tho. there is a scar on the bottom and i think thats called the pontil mark. any info would be appreciated. thank you for your time.

Hey bufaloelectric,

That's an olive oil bottle. It's not pontiled, but may have a bit of a dimple in the base. I'm having trouble seeing details in your photos. Perhaps it was made in a turn mold, explaining the lack of visible seams. Bottles like nice natural light for their portraits. 8-)

gotcha. im cleaning up an old mason jar ive walked past hundreds of times at my parents place before noticing it. its funny how the finders fever makes you notice things that you have never really paid attention too. once i finish cleaning on it, ill do the oil bottle. then take a pic in the natural light. thanks for the info.
 

I gotcha😎
