Well I am sorry you and or others find my tone "hostile and offensive". Quite why that is goes over my head it would seem.

Yes it was me who described it as an Ink Bottle but have now asked that it be treated as a "bottle" so as not to go off on a tangent over what function it was made for as opposed to the question asked which is if anyone knows who made it.

"neither do they find the need to support their knowledge of glass by means of boastful details of their buying and selling."

I was not supporting my knowledge of glass so much as pointing out that whatever a seller says an item is does not always have a bearing on what it actually is. You may note that during my "boost" I also pointed out my own lack of knowledge at times.

If you have a blacklight, can you check it's not uranium glass in any of the layers?  Just curious.  I don't think it will be but I'm interested.

The bubbles look controlled to me  - so blown into a mold?

Does not react to black light.

The bubbles are in rows but not dense so could be the were created by rolling on a spiked plate, or by use of a mould.

So would therefore mean a maker proficient in beautifully cut feet and spike molds.
And brightly coloured cased spatter glass.

It's quite a puzzle but I'd look at Bohemian glass to be honest to start with. 

(It also vaguely reminds me of Pedestal weights for some reason.)

Did Val St Lambert do controlled bubble paperweights?

I'm just trying to think a bit laterally - they were great for cut glass, I thought they might have been in question for spatter glass paperweights and if they did use controlled bubble stuff also then maybe it could be Belgian?  I know, long shot, but it just looks quite feminine and the colours always make me think of French glass (I know they are Belgian).

Ok, a different era of course but they did do controlled bubble weights it seems:
