I have understood that you can not say anything to me about the price, but I want to know information about the items, like if they are really old, if you think that are beautifull, and other interesting characteristics like these.

Albert,

Yes you are OK in asking the above type questions with bottles at auction.  So here is my opinion (going left to right), but it is difficult to confirm material of each bottle in this group just from photos.

1) Imitation cinnabar.  Bad resin bottle not worth collecting.

2) Black glass with golden flecks.  Attractive, collectable maybe, but not old.  Date from 1975 to recently made.

3) Red glass(?).  But could be a red resin bottle.  The mouth of the bottle were the stopper sets has a typical appearance of resin.  Does not appear to be old. 

4) Amber imitation (?).  I suspect it too is a contemporary resin bottle.  Likely not very old.

I would say none of these bottles are worth collecting as judged solely by the photos.

Hope this helps, Charll
