Do the seams go up the lip on either bottle?
Oh, can you show a pic of the base on the aqua one? (I want to know if it is smooth and flat or rough or concave or what, which is best shown by clear images.) It is a Cathedral-style sauce bottle. I assume there is no seam going up to the top. It was obviously dug up or found in water.
On the inside, does where the mouth joins the neck feel or look rough and like it was added on, or is it smooth to the touch and not look added on?
The purple one likely has no seams going up to the mouth (top.) It appears to be a decanter made between 1910 and 1920 but could be earlier. Manganese in the glass over time turns purple-pink due to the sun's radiation.
