      Looks like a contemporary half-size chianti bottle. The lip finish is certainly modern. It was probably wrapped in wicker with a flat base that enabled it to stand. Do you know the general age of the area where it was dug?

      Bootleguy sorry rebuild on a building that was built in 1960

      I'd say that the date of the original construction probably pretty well dates the bottle.

      That looks like a handmade bottle. I don't see any flashmark on the bottle or the top. When they factory make bottles they stick two halves together and you see a line run down both sides of the bottle where the two halves joined. They call that a flashmark. I'm pretty sure that this is a handmade bottle from no later than the forties. A very nice find.

      Of course, it could be a worthless Chianti bottle from 1960.I remember finding one of these and it had a faint flashmark that I didn't see at first so I suspect bottleguy got it right.

      For the record, the place where parts of a mold join together leaving a faint line in the glass, is called a "mold line" or "mold seam." Two- or three-part molds are the most common. Although the Romans made molded glassware, three-part molds were reinvented in England in 1921. Two-part molds were first used in the US starting around the same time.

      OOPS! I just spotted a typo in my previous comment. That should have been 1821.
