I have the same mini, except mine is a screw top. Here are a few of my favorite mini's.

I love the tiny crooked bottle, no writing on it, but it's so crude it's beautiful. And the larger green bottle is actually 8-sided, and it still has the glass applicator wand inside - must have been a perfume. The tiny green bottle is so small and crude, and the glass is really dirty, with bits of sand blown in the glass and a really crude top.
I love collecting these mini's, they don't take up a lot of room, and you don't see too many of them around.

Good job with the images, Richard!
I have a few mini-bottles, too. Here are three:

--Sherlock Holmes (Arthur Conan Doyle) in "The Sign of Four"
Thanks Harry. Did you dig those mini's? Very nice color, love the rolled lip too. How do you photograph yours Harry? Do you silouhette your images in photoshop, or shoot against white and blow out the background, or both? Nice stuff!

I use a radiograph (x-ray) viewer mounted on my wall. The eight flourescent tubes in the viewer are color-corrected, plus the light is diffused through a milky plexi-glass screen. I used the camera flash on this image. Any unwanted lines (e.g. from the glass shelf) I remove using Adobe Photodeluxe.

ruccello, nice group and great pics too. I've been trying to reproduce Harry's methods, but with not much results. Harry, let me ask, about the "milky plexiglass screen".... how do you get this, sandblasting, white paint, can you buy it? Thanks, gleaner1

Mine came with the light-box (x-ray) viewer. You can buy this stuff -- try the sign shops in your town. As an alternative, you could try transparent plexiglass (or glass) with a frosted film (a "privacy" laminate) applied to both sides (this is not as effective).
