I got these bottles from my friend for $10 a piece about 10 years ago. She had an estate sale for a large lot of antique and vintage items, and these didn't sell. Neither of us have any clue on the maker or age of these bottles. They are about 24" tall, both have a raised fish design on them, but the orange bottle is twice as heavy as the blue one.
Any ideas are much appreciated.
**Title Updated- Thank you, Swfinluv1!

The only picture I've found so far was on a Pinterest page. There's no ID but the speculation was that it was likely Italian.

Thank you so very much for the info, swfinluv1, i couldn't find anything at all on them. Hopefully that will lead me somewhere =)
Thank you for the loves, Sean, Michael, Caperkid, aura, Manikin, racer, swfinluv- very much appreciated!
Thank you Scott and kennethleblanc for the love!
Reminds me of erik höglund's designs for boda glasbruk
Just a shot in the dark
getthatmonkeyoutofme, i typed this name in google, and i see what you mean by the similarity of the style. I haven't found these bottles among their pieces, but i found there one bottle that i have which i was also puzzled about and wanted to post. So thank you for solving an un-posted mystery! =)

Kyratango, Elizabeth, getthatmonkey, Rick55- thank you for the loves, much appreciated!
These are Indiana Handcraft for Lancaster Colony (or possibly Bischoff, since they owned the original molds). The Concord decanter (attributed to Wayne Husted) is in the middle row on the far right of the picture (the full page can be seen on the second link):

I'm sorry swfinluv1, I can't find the piece you talk about in your latest post. However, in the link you posted 11 months ago (1st post), I can see the red/orange bottle (with the fish on the front) the last on the right, second line. However, going to Eclectisaurus, it's not there.
Gillian, the original piece has a stopper, and it's green in the link.
Swfinluv1, OMG, how did you find it, and how did you remember it 11 months later? Thank you so much for solving this mystery. It makes a huge difference when you know what you have. I cant see the page clearly, there are some series numbers underneath...would they be for different colors?
You're welcome! I was actually looking for a picture of something else by Wayne Husted and saw one of these in the search results for eBay. It took me a while to find your post again but I remembered the fish, which narrowed it down. : )
I think the number after the name is the style/pattern number. It's a little small but I think it reads 'Concord 653'. The next line is the height of the piece and the word 'decanter'. The lines under that list the different colors available: O(range), B(lue) and G(reen) and the corresponding numbers to use for ordering.
Here's the eBay link in case you want to see it:

Thank you thank you thank you! (Now i wish i had the stoppers for them :P )
