i second that the last three pictures looked very legitimate. would have been a worthy risk considering that he accepts 14 days for returns but you cant win them all
The horizontal seam through the neck and an additional vertical seam through the side of the lip in the pictures you posted give me a good indication that this is a modern bottle. This type of mold is seen on recent bottles sold by Pier 1 imports, pottery barn, and other similar retailers. Some...
