Wine Bottle

[SMJB]

Hi Guys,
I dug this a while back. My question, besides approximate age, is, do wine bottles generally follow the same guidelines as far as applied or tooled finishes go? This one has a prominent mold seam which seems to fade out above the shoulder.
The markings on the base are:
N & Co
1787
Thanks for any info!

Looks like it probably dates to the late 19th or early 20th century, and the N&Co embossing suggests it's from the UK (which I think is fairly unusual for these bottles). The thing with wine bottles is that because so many of them were made in Europe, you can't always apply US-based dating standards to them. European glasshouses continued using older methods of bottle-making long after the US phased them out.

Hey, thanks, Canadian. Interesting. Would this be a tooled lip, or applied? I'm trying to really educate myself and you guys have been a great resource.
