pic #2 the opening at top is warped like....there is a little lip that goes around.... i don't see any seems of any kind all over the piece.... and in all its like 7 or 8 inches tall.
The bottom has a ring with a concave spot in the middle.... if i look at the glass i can see stress marks in areas and a swirly look on the bottom too. I see air bubbles all around. I don't know what to call the little line at the bottom.... kinda looks like an L but not really ... it could just be something else.... it is concave and not convex as well.
This is generically known as "Goofus glass" from the late 19th / early 20th century. It originally had a painted finish.
Goofus glass was mass-produced in large quantities and often used as give-away items at carnivals, fairs, etc. Later came Carnival glass with its luminescent, more durable glass finish.
