Pair of 200ml Clear Glass Bottles with Cork Stoppers

This is a pair of clear glass bottles, each with a rounded square base tapering into a circular neck, and stoppered with natural corks. Each bottle appears to have a capacity of approximately 200 ml, as indicated by the context clues. The glass is clear and exhibits some minor surface irregularities, consistent with mass-produced glassware, potentially from a mold. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant damage to the glass, suggesting they are in good, used condition. The corks are light brown with visible natural grain and some subtle wear or dark specks, indicative of their material. The manufacturing details '9 A VE' are discernibly engraved on the bottom of at least one of the bottles, which might be a manufacturer's mark, a date code, or an identifying batch number. The style is utilitarian and simple, suggesting a modern or contemporary production. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for functional glass containers, with no overt signs of artisanal hand-blowing, but possessing a uniform shape and finish. These bottles could be used for various liquids, such as oils, vinegars, spirits, or bath products, making them versatile. The overall appearance is clean and functional, suitable for both practical storage and decorative display.
