What kind of bottle is this? - 10/2/2004 10:59:58 PM    Northeast Bottlediver   Posts: 15 Joined: 8/29/2004 Status: offline Hello All, I was out diving today and came across many different types of glass items while at this site. I am wondering if you could look at the picture provided and help me identify the greenish bottle laid down with the rounded bottom it is marked VIVO on the bottom of it and I was curious if anyone knew how old it was & what was in it when full?

Some look older then others... The green bottle you show and describe was probally wine minus the straw basket it came in to stand upright. Is the small milk glass looking bottle on the left embossed? Taz (in reply to Northeast Bottlediver) Post #: 2

Tropical Queensland Status: offline Hi NEBD The round end bottle is most likely an Italian wine that has a basket woven around it so it can stand up as tazmainiendigger said. They can still be bought today and are mostly found in Italian restaurants. I forget the name of the wine and there is probably more than one. _____________________________ ~Alan~ Arrgh, not another....... Holbrookes!!! (in reply to Northeast Bottlediver) Post #: 3

I came across broken up round bottoms and broken blob tops and then new stuff all mixed in the same area. OK the rounded wine bottle goes in the garbage... Now that you helped on that one. The best thing I thought I found to me was the broken cup with the navy anchor on it but if you read my recovery page on my website you`ll see why...lol Thanks _____________________________ Remember Down Below The Waves There Is Peace and Tranquility For All That Are Willing To Explore.

Has no seams and it looks like turned in mold (striation marks around the bottle. The top seems to be part of the bottle (Like the whole thing came out of mold to include the top) Allways thought it to me USA, has seed bubbles and other blems. Well anyway have had it for so long going to keep it. Dave (in reply to Northeast Bottlediver) Post #: 5
