Dear Pin,
    Yes they seem so. And quite nice. I prefer the first two. I don't like the base on the third one, which looks ground down.
  Best,
 Joey

Hi Joey

Thanks a lot .....

I was also puzzled about the base of the 3rd bottle..... There a white ring around the bottom which, i think, actually is flush with the the base of the bottle.

Hi Pin,

I agree with Joey - I also like the first two better than the last one.

I think most all of us are attracted to these clear bottles.. Have you seen Tom's natural clear bottles ?

Not so sure about your first one though... Looks modern to me..

The 1st bottle with the metal flakes is likely a resin or some form of plastic, quite modern.  Bottles 2 and 3 appear to be legitimate glass bottles made for use, and look to have typical abrasions incurred by use.   I would speculated that the 2nd and 3rd bottles were made and use by the average populous (the more common folk) in the 19th century.  Bottle 2 has typical shape used in the late 19th century and bottle 3 could be a bit earlier, mid to late 19th, for it has what appears to be a common bottle form used in the Doaguang Period.  Given the appearance that bottle 2 has a varying wall thickness would indicate that it was freely hand blown and formed without use of a mould, and this to me is the more interesting bottle of the three bottles.  Photos of the mouth and base would allow better evaluations.
