    A bag of glass items included a bottle, a small drinking glass and 2 small jars, unless one of them is actually a bottle too.

    The green bottle has a raised bottom, however there's no visible pontil mark nor has it been polished off. No visible seams.

    The small glass is thick and has a couple of small air bubbles. The edge of the base has been cut or polished to matte texture. No pontil mark. Raised but even bottom. No seams.

    The round jar has a rough-textured round (removed?) pontil mark at the base. No seams.

    The panelled square jar has an uneven texture and the base has a rough and partially broken or unfinised 2-layer pontil mark. Barely visible vertical seams that end before the "collar" or "mouth" of the jar.

    They appear to be everyday type items. The bottle seems the most interesting
    here's a site to try and date the bottle and apothecary jar. The shot glass if that is the correct size, is fairly common. The last jar is a food jar, likely from the early 1900s.

    Thanks for the link and info, clutteredcloset49. According to the site, the bottle is likely a blob top soda bottle made in a turn-mold and probably dates somewhere between 1880-1920, which is when a majority of turn-mold bottles were made.

    Your tumbler falls under the general heading of colonial pattern. A lot of glass companies made tumblers like this. Very hard to tell which one made any particular tumbler. Possibly the best known of the colonial pattern makers is Heisey but Heisey in that pattern is usually marked with an H in a diamond.
