Inn Bok,

Wow! That puts an entirely new perspective on this bottle! As you may know, it was originally in the Bloch Collection, and there is considerable commentary about the inscriptions in the publications covering that collection, and who may have written them.
 
You will find the details here:

The possibility that it was a tablet later transformed into a bottle is new to me, and most intriguing!
The dull appearance seems to have more to do with the quality of this particular type of jet, rather than the polishing. In fact for many years the experts thought the bottle was made of carbonized wood.
