    Any idea of origin and possible age? I don't see any side seams. There is something like a seam encircling the body.
    Thanks

    It's called a hock wine. The form goes WAY WAY back and is still in use today. Yours is an older example. Around a hundred years old or a little more. It was hand blown in a mold and the vessel was turned in the mold to eliminate the mold lines (leaving those lines going around the bottle), Thus "hand blown turn mold hock wine" pretty well sums it up.

    They were made everywhere both here and abroad so pinning down origin is nigh on impossible, though more likely continental.

    Not much value there but a genuine antique none the less.
