Quote from the Pirates of Carribean
Here's the scene. Jack and Angelica are in the captain's quarters on Black Beard's ship. They're both looking at a shelf full of bottles that have ships inside them. One of them contains Jack's ship named Black Pearl
Jack asks " Why is the Black pearl in a bottle?
Why does he say a bottle? It's quite clear for both of them which specific bottle the ship is in because they're looking at it when asks the question.

Well, where are you at the moment? A room? An apartment? A city?
The bottle itself is not something that bothers jack, its the idea. It is not like it would have been much different if his ship was in any other bottles. When you are trying to point at something in general, you would use "a" or "an" to refer to them. ht
