Its a spun wine bottle (Turn mold) higher quality than the utility turn mold bottles that almost always showed the mold imperfections in the way of concentric lines that circumnavigate the bottle. These wine bottles had been made the same way for 200 to 300 years. the near perfect shape body and lip suggests a turn of the 20th century era to as late as 30's or 40's. the lip style and the bulbous kick up bottom is indicative, I have found many of these type in that age range from 1890 to 1930. A fun find, when getting into the hobby!

I find them in 1880s–1900s sites. Seen a range of sizes from split to magnum. Nice pickup.
Yeah, I had several in differing ages, a few that were from mid 1800's (but you can easliy see the difference) sizes, shades and lip styles. I sadly lost a 7" version that was pale grass green! (to a summer thunderstorm that blew the kitchen curtains and sent the bottle to the trash can in two thousand pieces)

Sorry for your loss buddy.
I like the 1860's style Bordeaux bottles. Super deep kick-up.
