When I first saw the bottle, I also thought that it was made from wood, but , when I touched it, it felt a little cold, and I thought that it was a little be heavier than wood.  The bottle weighs 1.4 ounces.  A slightly larger wooden bottle that I have weighs just one ounce.   I thought that it was ceramic, because when I scraped the inside of the mouth with a carving tool, a whitish very fine powder came out.  So, I thought that it was purposely made to look like wood, and, from some of your comments, the bottle maker/artist did a good job at that.
The wooden bottle that I used for comparison is shown here.
