Real antique or Fake Bottle?

I bought this at a thrift store. Is it an antique? It has no mold seams. I would appreciate the help. Jason, from Southern Nevada

Hi Jason,

Your bottle is hand blown and formed. The sides were flattened by use of paddles. While it is made in a traditional way, it is modern. The characteristics of the pontil scar and glass as well as the form itself make this clear to the experienced eye.

It is probably not entirely accurate to call this a fake since it's not intentionally trying to imitate a period piece or fool someone.

I am attaching an inline photo to make it easier for others to view...

Thanks you so very much for your comment. I have another bottle that came along with this one. Could you also give me your thoughts about it if all possible. Jason.

I give up. Can't figure out how to upload a image and not a link.

are you on a smart phone or tablet?

for all PC's you should just click a button, find your local photo and upload. I would really appreciate what exactly is going wrong so I can fix it! Thanks, Chris

All the steps of loading works. But it never loads. Have waited for over an hour and it never finishes the loading process even with a small image. I do like your site. Jason.

Window Vista. Google Chrome. Could I have corrupted files? If I am the only one having difficulty it is most on my side. Thanks for the response. Jason.
