How old is this bottle?

[Marvellanne]

I found this bottle in the ocean in Bermuda- filled with sand but in very good shape otherwise. The lip opening is not symmetrical and the bottom seems unusually deep. Photos are enclosed. Any guesses?

nice asymmetrical push up and what looks like a hand tooled lip...wine? maybe 1900 turn of the last century?

I believe these typically held sparkling wine (although they were used and reused for all sorts of other things). It's tough to date European bottles of that general era, could be anywhere from around 1870 to 1930 or so. The manufacturing techniques were slow to change in Europe.

my first instinct was champagne!

That's a good instinct.

I would like to see a shot of the neck and bottom

Push up bottom definitely a type of wine bottle. no mold seams is turn mold. Huge age range on these things. Mid ish 1800s into the 20th century. Flat bottom were generally mineral water or spring water bottles in my experience.

Pretty common but still fun to find.

I like the push up bottoms too vs. the flat bottoms too..
