Hi Rube,

I agree   with Pin

They  are  2  of a  set of  12  bottles.

Roughly  1970-1980   tourist  grade  bottles, originally  sold as a set

Not sure  if one can say anything about the  material  (glass  or man-made crystal)  but the  bottle  shape  is definitely  "old" by  which I mean  pre - 1980

The  painting  quality  is  really poor,   but the  calligraphy  is  uniform  although  rather  scrappily (carelessly)  written

Definitely  NOT  by a  master  artist :  more like a  student  artist  trying to  make ends  meet (there  were  no factory  produced  bottles  at that  time, as far as I know)

That's my best  take

Cheers

Peter
