Rounded bottom bottle found in Italy

jwvw

I found this bottle along the Ligurian Coast of Italy. We were hiking and decided to wander way of the path. Sort of in the middle of nowhere I found this bottle. It was filled with sediment of which I've cleaned out most.
The bottle is 12 inches top to bottom and 17.5 inches in circumference.
I think it is free-blown without a form as I can't find any firm lines and the sides are not uniform and are a bit wavy to the touch. The bottom has more obvious and rough concentric rings(photo). There is a flat spot on one side (photo) and air bubbles in the neck (photo).
The glass is not very thick at all. Any info you might have would be helpful.

I can't tell you exactly how old your wine bottle is, but I suspect less than 50 years or so.

It is a traditional Italian wine bottle called a fiasco. I am not sure how the word got such a different meaning in English but one can imagine too much wine had something to do with it :-)

See the wikipedia page for a complete discussion of this bottle type.
