Photo is a bit blurry, but it doesn't look as "fine" as the Bristol Blue.

Perhaps middle eastern in origin?  :-\ It does look like a perfume bottle in style. Not sure if it has any age to it.

Do you know any of the history of the bottle ramsy?

I'm really surprised to see a bottle on the Genealogy forum lol as Glass is the other thing I do.

Can you get any clearer photo's and measurements?
