hello Rob - I think the lack of additional information regarding your bottle might be responsible for the absence of replies.               Wonderful shots of the interior of your home, but your glass is mostly out of focus, unfortunately  -  and busy backgrounds don't help us to focus on the glass.

Details such as size, some comment on visible, or absence, of wear - has this been in the family for ages or bought very recently  -  will all help, usually.
Unless this has come from a genuinely old site, then what I'm seeing suggests to me that your 'bottle' (temporarily for want of a better description), might be a modern copy of a much older piece of glass.            Currently sources such as Egypt or China do make such copies - some good, some bad  - imitating antique shapes and patterns.

Of course it would be good if I was entirely wrong  -  let's see what other folk think  -  and welcome to the GMB by the way :)
