It is possibly from the Cambridge Glass Co. in Ohio.  Cambridge made
figurines, tableware, and some tumblers and vases, but was not a bottle
manufacturer.  They operated from about 1910 to 1960 and made Amethyst
items both early and late.  However, these were intentionally "purple"
and not the manganese decolorized you are referencing as solarized.
