    Looks a bit too asymmetrical to have been mass-production, but A) could be the photograph and B) we don't know nothin' about antique bottles...

    Everything I know about bottles I learned from reading the sha.org site - here's the page on bottle closures/finishes:

    I think yours has a crown cap finish which would put it after 1892.

    I agree early 1900 range possibly later if in Europe.

    One problem with mouth-blown glass is it is still being crafted in places such as Mexico, so dating is difficult. It could be contemporary, made from 7-Up bottle frit. On the optimistic side, this bottle looks completely pipe-blown and hand-finished to me, made with a rather low-grade glass mixture, and not by a master glass worker. Guessing from the shade of green and the imperfections, if NOT 3rd World modern, I'd guess early 19th century, not before. Made for wine most likely, there is no sturdy base nor kick-up to allow for a bubbly beverage to ship safely.
