Dear Rube,

     It looks good and may well be late 18th /early 19th C., but you can't use a wide opening from a ground down neck as proof. It is not proof of anything other than the fact that, at that distance from the original mouth (which may or may not have been wide), the opening was wide.

    The carving etc. looks right for the dates you suggested.
Best,
Joey
