Stew I can't help but that colour glass always reminds me of recycled glass.  Do you think it could be newer?  if so maybe Spain?

Recycled glass from Vetreria Empoli is most probabke. they are the ones that fill the world with decorative bottles and jars  in the shape of <your suggestion here>  .  I even saw a crate with a glas AK47 filled with wodka the other day.  This would be up their alley all the way.  And the ve bottle mark should be on the underside

no marks on base. thought it might have a bit of age to it not quality like a lot of pressed glass. its very heavy aqua coloured glass.
