Hi George,

I'll ask my brother to send a picture of the bottom for you to see, without the label.
But, I'm pretty sure this bottle is amber and not any type of glass. From what I recall,
it was very static, and extremely light, but I did forget to do the "taste test" nor did I dunk it in salt water.  Dumb question, but can amber be blown?

Cheers,

Rube.
