Green Bottle - Believe it's old, but how old and what kind
Hi:
I got this at an Antique Shop and think it's old. My question is:
Is this a turn-mold bottle with an Applied finish lip, or is it a hand-blown with a sand pontil base?
I'm leaning towards the turn-mold as there may be horizontal lines around the bottle, but some do look wavy.
It's 9-1/2" tall and 2-1/2" wide at the base. Also, is this a beer bottle, or spirits?
Much Thanks,
- Greg

This is a European made bottle from the late 19th century. It does appear to be a turn mold, has an applied lip and although the base does appear to have a sand chip pontil mark, I think the attributes are incidental to the manufacture.
