Hello ctyller, Welcome to the A-BN. This is where some photos, done in natural light, might come in real handy. I can think of a couple ways the bottles take on that lavender hue. It has to do with the manganese in the glass batch, and prolonged exposure to UV light, if natural. Here's an older thread: https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/m121973-m121973.aspx
