Hello everybody
I am looking for some help on this item it’s weight is about 780 grams it’s measures are 18 heigh 13 width 9,5 depth (cm).
It’s a heavy piece with thickwanded glass.
I think it’s a free blown glass but I am not sure (not an expert on it).
It has a pontil scar on the base.
I am searching for about 2 weeks and going with it by several antiquairs and museums and nobody couldn’t tell me how old it is or if it’s a reproduction or something I also can’t find a piece what lookes a bit like it on Google
I really am interested in this piece history also if someone can help me valuing this item then feel free to do so.
I am really curious about it.
the expert here in the Netherlands looked at my pictures and thought it was some kind of Hebron glass but she has to see it in person to give a good answer (I will eventually go to this expert after the summer period).
many thanx in advance.
if it’s a repro from the last decade could the pontil then be a fake?
the color is also strange sometimes it looks green in other lighting it looks blue (i made one picture in the dark with a flashlight in the back of it) ??
also are there many tiny yellow strange dots in this glass (by looking very closely)
And when you look into the glass it seames to been scratched heavily on the bottom (at the inside).
The glass itself containes very much air bubbles
Many thanks for reading and helping in advance.
Regards Michel

Hi thanx for reading my message i got this item by a house cleaning from elderly people who moved out of their house.
it stood by some trash and it intrigued me directly so I took it home.
I really don’t have a clue about its origin.
I went by 2 roman museums and they also didn’t know if it’s a genuine Roman bottle 1 museum sended the bottle (pictures by mail) to their archaeologist and she didn’t knew it either she send it further to a specialist,unfortunately the specialist is on holiday until September.
the other museum said that the bottle wasn’t a common one for this area (netherlands) but could be a bottle from the Mediterranean sea area.
so it remains a mystery.
