Thanks guys ! 

It is so rare that I get to handle jade bottles.. Have only had three in hand ever ..  So it really was a surprise to have a couple pop up within a day of each other at prices I could afford.

I also have seen that flat spot before.. Perhaps the chunk of jade was simply a hair shy of having enough material to complete the neck at the minimum desired height..  Or if it was done intentionally, perhaps it lets someone sort of place a finger nail in that spot so as to pry upwards rather than pulling up by the stopper.. That way there is no stress on a cork from pulling on it from a snug fit..
