Tooled Lip with Large Glass Bubble. No Marks, No Embossing

Note: This type of bottle is often faked. When I first saw it, I thought this was probably a fake, but then I noticed that this was hand-blown (as evidenced by the glass bubbles and lack of mold lines). It would be too expensive to fake an antique bottle by hand-blowing it, so I have concluded that this bottle IS antique. However, I suspect that the outer patina may have been faked. Why, I don’t know. Most antique bottles don’t command a great market price, and this one seems common enough.

So I vote for antique bottle with faked patina.
