The glass violin shaped bottles are called Vibots and were made mostly in the 30's and 40's and I personally have collected 8 of them, each a different color. I started with the amethyst, which is the oldest, and then added the blue, green, amber and turquoise. Later I found a cranberry colored one on ebay and also a lighter green and a light pink. Yet to purchase is a cobalt blue one, commom and easy to find, and a yellow one, which will be difficult to locate. Such fun they are to put in a sunny window, which I haven't done yet because I don't have wide enough window sills. Anyway, the theme is the use of vibrant color, found everywhere, of course, but I particulaly like these for their flair.
