Do you have just the base of the bottle? Seeing the entire bottle will be helpful, the patent may just cover something about the bottle design but not its contents.
I do enjoy ferreting out patent info on bottles - this one may take some time. If you have not heard from me in a few weeks, reply to remind me of this..
If you are up for some research of your own, this page will lead you to some resources including online copies of monthly patent publications which is a great way to find patent info. https://www.lib.ncsu.edu/formats/patents/patentshistorical

Thanks Chris. All I have is the bottom.

Are you certain that this is a fragment of a bottle? This looks to me more like the skirt of an insulator.
