That's one of the many things I like about your contributions - you provide evidence to support your observations and do not inject emotions towards those who might have a different opinion. The one thing I found especially interesting on the Allan Petretti site you posted a link to is the fake, yellow, ceramic pitcher. Notice that the 5 on the pitcher is almost identical to the 5 on the bottle and how both curve upward at the top. You might recall my saying earlier that I was having difficulty finding a similar 5 on original items. Even though I do not feel this observation is 100% conclusive either way, your discovery is definitely worthy of consideration and possibly the best contribution thus far.
As to purchasing the bottle, I'd like to have it even if it is a fake. The only thing preventing me from owning it now is the price. In fact, I have already made an offer on it but the seller said my offer was about what they paid for it and that they were hoping to get more. I do not know the seller but I get the impression from them that they definitely believe the bottle to be a genuine prototype of some kind.
Here are the 5s for comparison - green bottle on the left - yellow pitcher on the right ...
