Dear YT,
definitely not, the base of your bottle doesn't show the typical concentration of the swirls toward the center of the base. Nevertheless the mouth is like an open book in my opinion, it must be blown glass.
Kind regards
Giovanni

Dear YT,
    It is just my 'Grand Far East Tour'! Or even just my  'Grand East Asian Tour'! After all, I am not even leaving the continent! Israel is the edge of west Asia; China, Taiwan, Thailand and Singapore are in east Asia.
   There was a great Jewish poet in Moslem occupied Spain during the 11th/12th C., Rabbi Judah HaLevi.
He wrote a poem, 'My Heart is in the East', about being in the West (Spain), while his heart was in the East (Jerusalem, in the Land of Israel).
   "My Heart is in the East, and I am in the farthest part of the West..." That is how I feel about Snuff Bottles and Chinese culture.
    However, G-D Gave me the privilege to live in the Land HE Promised my forefathers, and it is the best of all lands (look how crazy the Arabs are to grab it! Of course, compared to the ***t-hole they come from, anywhere but North Korea probably looks good!).  Grin Cheesy Wink
Best,
 Joey
