well. that is curious.. the pattern seems to be in the patina. I wonder if the patina was a different metal?

Unfortunately, its out of my area if knowledge...

A picture of the bottom might be worthwhile! :)

Does the lid screw on or have a cork (or appear that it did have a cork)?

Was inclined to think was a liqueur bottle (not liquor) from the 50's - 60's....however....it may have been made strictly for decorative purposes.  It really is pretty and intriguing.  For decorative purposes I would value at $35 - $50 because of sentimental (genie bottle) and look.
