Blown glass bottle or vial with applied loop handle
Estimated Value
$25-$150
A hand-blown glass vessel with a long cylindrical body, rounded shoulder, narrow neck, and a small applied loop or handle at the top. The glass has a pale blue-green tint typical of older utilitarian or medicinal glass. The form suggests it may have been a bottle, vial, or laboratory/medical container rather than a decorative art glass piece. The surface shows age-related wear and possible mineral deposits or internal staining. No maker's mark or label is visible in the image, making precise identification difficult.

Authenticity Score
Medium; the form and glass characteristics are consistent with an older hand-blown bottle, but the exact age, purpose, and authenticity cannot be confirmed from a single image.
Provenance
Likely from a utilitarian household, medical, apothecary, or laboratory context. Without markings, provenance cannot be determined from the image alone.
Historical Significance
Objects of this type are representative of early glassmaking and utilitarian bottle production, especially in medical, apothecary, or laboratory settings. If genuinely antique and original, it may illustrate hand-blown manufacturing techniques and early container design.
