Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the reference. I found the bottle you mention in that collection. I agree the brown colour of my bottle doesn't seem to match up with that example or the deeper orange brown or translucent variations that I've also found. When I shine a light inside it does give off a nice deep orange glow. There is very little to go on with this bottle as it is so plain. Although, I think the shape including the foot/mouth seems right to me. Anyway, it looks nice with the other bottles in my collection. I will leave it there for now and try and find a perhaps a green cabochon to make a stopper!

Best,
Luke
