Thanks Kim Stanley

    This is an Austrian made bottle. The G mark is for Grazen Glasfabrik GMBH, Graz, Austria.

    It is fairly new based on the serrated marks around the edge of the base. Most likely 1970s or newer.

    Other than it appears to be made of clay, auto body filler or similar material which is meant to simulate wood, no.
