This bottle was inspired by the chestnut shaped wine bottles manufactured in England between about 1715 and 1740. During 1720 and 1730 in Britain ‘chestnut’ wine bottles were relatively unusual but their use in continental Europe was more widespread.

This particular variant has a narrow oval profile and described as having a ‘flat chestnut’ shape.

These chestnut bottles usually held more wine than earlier onion bottles or the more cylindrical types that followed them. Like this special edition bottle, by about 1730 full sized ‘chestnut bottles held around a litre of wine.
