    This is the coolest bottle! You can see from the base and the mouth that it's glass, but if you couldn't see those areas, you would swear it was carved agate.

    I don't know how they did this! How they put the darker areas in? How did they give glass the glossy texture of agate? There are even bits of grit in the glass to make it look like stone!

    It's really such a great imitation, that you have to admire the Chinese!

    It's well hollowed, and measures 5.6cm high.
