I started with the lid, decided to ditch the taper and elliptical base, turn it into a cylindrical shape and bring it into a more minimalist aesthetic.
I used a simple revolved sketch to achieve this.

The shape of the old lid prevented the use of a screw-on top, but this was no longer the case and I wanted to try modelling one.

I then started work on the bottle body.
I started by modelling the detail of how it would attach to the lid.

I lofted a series of elipses to create the main bottle body.

I slightly extruded the very top face to create the seal. I then created a linear sketch pattern for an extruded cut.

I wanted to create a face for any graphics or branding, and wanted to practice a lofted cut. I created a series of profiles that would cut into one face of the bottle.

This loft turned out twisted and messy, even with a guide curve.

I added two more guide curves to solve the problem.
Lofting with more guide curves.
This lead to a nice neat lofted cut.
