    No Pontile on your cruet. This was pressed upside down and the base closed with the cut-shut technique. Excess glass was left when the plunger was withdrawn and it was then tooled over to close and any extra cut off.

    I think your bottle dates to the mid 1800s and was probably a whiskey decanter.

    Very Nice.

    Thank you both! Looked up the cut-shut process. Very interesting as I’d not read about it before. This is a wonderful place to learn!!

    I would place it closer to 1900 mainly because pressed molded glass

    I'd opine that the applied ring of glass around the top/mouth puts it more nearer the mid 19th century than the end
