I found this when I was exploring a old barn.
From the marking on the bottom its VE vetreria etrusca of Italy. But i am unable to find the age and whats inside it. I've emailed vetreria etrusca but have not heard back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The age is not very old - probably within the past 40 years or so. I'm guessing it holds a fancy vinegar which, after however many years in the barn, probably doesn't taste all that fancy anymore.

Hello Look at your seam line!The seam line goes all the way thru the lip of the bottle,and thru the the handle it made after 1904.The seam goes to the lip and no futher it's msde before 1904.You can't find a seam line on your glass jug it was blown to shape bottle.I recommend you going to the "historic bottle" web site< and read the whole thing to learn about glass objects.Your glass piece is a glass hadle jug.
One thing to remember there are REPODUCTIONS out there so keep that in mine when trying to age the bottle.Your jug looks like green bottle glass? Iron added to the glass that's why it's green.In the case for green bottle like a old coke bottle.In the case of most bottles like your they couldn't fine out the sand enough to get rid of the iron foundin most sand.
