I found this unusual bottle/decanter/kerosene lamp base in my mother's stuff after she died. I searched and searched for any information about this particular pattern and can't find it anywhere. It's very heavy, hand-blown (it has a pontil), screw-top w/o a lid.

Thanks in advance.

It originally had a chrome pump type lid on it and sold in a chrome holder with shot glasses as a liquor set.
