Merge it with a small cylinder where it is not thick enough (and I have
a preference for the quartic form, probably my old age)

something along:

difference {
  merge {
    outer_lemniscate
    cylinder_at_point
  }
  inner_lemniscate
 material { glass... }
}

For once, the point of the lemniscate seems good for the bottleneck (or
you can also add a cylinder too.
