The far left is a very modern glass.. The middle one is a contemporary inside painted "overlay" type bottle, and the right bottle is mother of pearl ...

When you post your bottles, it is best to post each bottle within the correct boards..  None of these belong within Organic, Metal, or Embellished type bottles...

George,
    I think it's a little overwhelming for a new collector to get that right first time!
In any case, I would have put the mother-of pearl bottle under 'organic' myself...  Wink

Thank you for the input!! 
Yes, it was a bit confusing knowing what type of bottle they were and which forum to post in...I will be posting more soon since I purchased over 20 at an auction yesterday.
