I’m a novice bottle collector (full disclosure), and found this one at a local shop for $35. It looks pretty old, but I’m just not sure. The label is tan with a red border, and other than the label there is no writing on it. I tried to enhance the label and play around with photo settings but can’t make anything out. It’s maybe 10” tall I’d guess by 5-6” wide. Anyone seen one like it before? Thank you so much for any assistance.

It looks European, probably dating to around 1870-90. Those red-bordered labels were for home use, so this was probably part of someone's homemade batch of wine.
