Topic: what SORT of bottle?

[Ivo]

I almost know what it is. Light greenish suggesting recycled. Snapped off blowpipe pontil - rough and circular. I am thinking Spain. But What Is It For, please. Olive oil?  :sc: Drip feeding stuff to thingies?  :ha: Splattering cologne during processions?  :tof: IV Therapy? :srn:

It could be used for drip feeding a plant on your window sill , i use mine so that i can drink all night even while asleep just stick the wick under your tongue . Happy dreams jp . :24:

I'd go with olive oil but prefer jp's idea

I'd go with the olive oil thing too.
 :angel:   I haven't needed to be drip fed alcohol for nearly 20 years - using my brain is so much more fun than pickling it.   :angel:
Smug, amn't I?

[Ivo]

it may not be obvious from the picture that that is not a stopper but part of the bottle. So there is only one tiny opening....

[chopin-liszt]

So it would actually be very difficult to fill it with oil. Hmmmm.

It could be warmed a good bit, then submersed in a liquid which would then enter as the vessel cools.....

Or a funnel and lots of patience

[chopin-liszt]

I think a funnel would cause it's own problems. Getting one slender enough to fit into it leaving space for the expulsion of air and having a gauge wide enough for liquid to actually pour down it, rather than sucking stuff up by capillary action simply isn't feasible. You'd just end up in a mess. The patience would be required for cleaning it up.

[Ivo]

It IS a classic shape, so it must have a functionality...

Ivo, could it be a bug trap of some kind? Put something attractive to bugs in it and they climb in and can't figure out how to get out again....  wasps or suchlike...
