More I look at the pictures and more I think that it is not glass. Note that the bottle has the same uniform surface matt appearance. Usually on glass bottles we see some difference in polishing between the exposed areas and the recessed ones.

Giovanni,

I agree with your above observation, and I was letting George's 'Subject Header' influence my perspective with an assumption he knew it was glass.
