Hi Pin,

The shape of this bottle looks like a flattened flask form typical of the period mentioned by Charll. The 'green splashes on white' is one that has always appealed to me. The best quality examples usually sells at auction for far more than I am prepared to pay.

Yours has a series of natural fissures which, to me at least, detract from the pleasing green and white pattern. A mild de-greasing agent** might remove the darker lines, as I believe they are caused by grime from years of handling, which has settled in the cracks.
