Those are just pressing flaws. It's not blown glass

[Makanudo]

In couple places where it is chipped(edges) you can see glass below is clear, but you can also see dark svirled layers within clear glass like in marbles

[Lustrousstone]

It's still pressed glass made in a two-part mould (base and plunger). It has nowhere where it was attached to a blowing iron or a pontil iron. "Slag" glass like this has been pressed since the mid 19th century

[Makanudo]

Ok.
If its a made from two moulds souldn't it have a seam?

[Lustrousstone]

Not two moulds: a base plate and a plunger. No seams because nothing opens

[Makanudo]

Few days ago I bought a pigeon bowl that has the same colour palette but it looks like style may be different.

[David E]

The bowl would have needed a two-part mould (or three-/four- depending on the seams).

[Makanudo]

It  has one seam that splits it ideally in two parts vertically.
