No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

That shape is known as a Ship's decanter - the wide base is to prevent it falling over in rough weather.
Are there any marks on the base? How is the base finished?

Is the smooth flat finish polished or from a mould?

I'm afraid I can't help much, but would imagine it's fairly new and possibly Polish.
