First of all Andy welcome to antique-bottles.net. Looks like a turn mold applied lip amber liquor bottle. Hard to tell you anymore without embossing or manufactures mark on the bottom. I can tell you that turn mold bottles were made from 1850-1920 though the majority were produced from 1880-1915. It is a nice find. Hope this answers your question.

Thanks a lot RobbyBobby64. Do you have any idea of its country of origin? It was found in an area used by Dutch, Portuguese and British ships.

That is a tough question because foreign bottles are not my forte. I could only guess. I am only the first to answer and I am sure another member will know more definitively the origin country.
Wish I could help more Andy.

Thanks RobbyBobby64.
You posted 4:16 am which is early for some members to be online. You will get more answers later. There are members on this site from all over the world. Some are divers and find some of the most incredible jugs and other artifacts
