Stan Weitman, who is a Certified Antique Appraiser informally has told me the era is circa 19th Century.

The overshot, if you want to call it that, is mere sand, rather than ground up glass pieces. The piece is very clean except for some minor dirt in the snake-wrap area on the neck that may be left from the excavation of this piece. I have made an effort to photograph this piece accurately, showing all the elements of this piece; however, photographing this unusual piece proved to be less than easy. TO FIND A MOUTH-BLOWN GLASS PIECE OF THIS ERA, WITHOUT ANY BREAKS, CRACKS, OR REPAIRS, IS VERY VREY RARE, AND A PIECE NOT TO BE MISSED. IF YOUR PASSION IS IN REVOLUTIONARY ...
