...it has a rough pontil.

Not obvious from picture but there are controlled bubbles within the glass.

Any thoughts on maker?

Empoli verde, nice example. Maker would be Toso Bagnoli or Vetreria Empoli - there are several other companies. The ground and polished! pontil is just right.

 I posted much the same question a while back (2008) and got the same answer from Ivo -  consistent and accurate as usual.  Here's what mine looked like -

I think mine is in a box somewhere in my garage right now - preparing to move house, but from my post of 4 years ago I wrote that it was 18" tall and 5.5" wide.
Interesting what you say about a stopper Keith.  I hadn't noticed any sign of a stopper mark on the rim of mine - I must look again when I've moved and unpacked, likely to be months down the line I suspect.
Cheers, Iain

Mine is 17 inches minus the stopper which just sits in the neck,not really a snug fit ::)
