Beach find - what type and manufacturer?

[TillyPoe]

Hi. I'm new to this forum. I found this partial bottle on the beach and would like to find out what kind of bottle (type/use) it might be and where/when it might have been manufactured. The base is approximately 4 cm in diameter and about 3/4 intact; some markings may be missing from the bottom left and bottom centre. The visible markings on the base are as follows:

Top: 43 mm
Left: 06
Right: looks like a round bracket open to the left, then a T, then a round bracket open to the right
Bottom right: Something that looks like a 3 or backwards E
Bottom centre: looks like "cl"

I'm including a sketch of the markings (as best as I can make them out) because I found it difficult to get clear photos. If anyone has tips they want to share for photographing the markings on bottle bases (location and type of lighting, background, etc.) I'd be happy to receive them.

Many thanks!

The ridging on the base is a modern glass production technique from after the 1960s and beyond.

Thanks. I figured it was likely modern. I'm intrigued by what a bottle or jar with those dimensions (43 mm neck and 4 cm diameter base) would be used for. A science lab specimen jar, maybe, that fell off a boat?

Looks to me like a product bottle of some type, but from a non-western country. Maybe somewhere in Asia? Which country did you find it in? One possibility could be those energy shot types of things, I can imagine someone working on a boat drinking them to stay awake, and they're easier to transport than full-size energy drinks. I'm not sure what's up with the "43mm" marking, I can't imagine it actually had a neck wider than the base.

I found it on the Northumberland Strait shore of Nova Scotia. Energy drinks is a good suggestion. Or maybe condiments, like hot sauce?

Could the 43 mm refer to the base diameter, rather than the neck? I assumed it referred to the neck because when I search online for "glass bottle 43 mm" the results that come up from manufacturing companies all see to refer to the neck size. But maybe it's actually the base.

is so many modern clear bottles in use , be impossible to say what it was for exactly .

but your location could definitely see there being something interesting out there to be found
