No. That's just the 2.5 oz bottle. It's not grey either-- the picture just looks that way, it's just transparent. The 2.5 oz bottles of GIT have always been clear while the 4 oz. bottles have always been black.

Bad lighting as well. GIT juice is yellow, not clear.

hold your black bottle up to a bright light and don't drop it. it's painted glass. Alternately scratch some paint off vertically with a Swiss Army Knife.

All the metal looking bottles are glass

And this goes for Himalaya and Silver Mountain Water as well. Only Millesime Imperial in the gold bottle is truly opaque.

It's a glass bottle, but it's been covered with some kind of metallic material-- like the bottle for Caron's L'Anarachiste.

By the way, I'm enjoying the process of watching my bottle of L'Anarchiste's copper coating change its appearance. I keep it in the bathroom for maximum humidity and sometimes I even rub my hands on it just for the hell of it. it's getting a patina, and it's darkening in some spots and going almost greenish. Very cool.

Not quite. Caron's L'Anarchiste is actually metal. The "metallic material" on MI is just cheap gold paint that flakes off like dandruff.

I'm pretty sure the actual bottle of L'Anarchiste is glass-- there's a window on the back of the bottle that lets you see how much juice is left. Plus, there are a few spots where the copper finish is a bit thin. I think from the feel of the bottle that it's most definitely glass.

Actually I'll bet you a hundred bucks that its glass. Stand in front of a bright light bulb and hold the L'Anarchiste bottle in front of it, with the back side of the bottle (with the window) facing you. Now run your finger up and down the other side of the bottle and you'll see your finger's shadow.

Holy shit! I just held my L'Anarchiste bottle up to a 60 watt bulb and you CAN see the juice! I thought it was metal. But of course copper would react to the juice and make ikt really coppery.

Really? I always thought it was metal. It's pretty damn heavy, and the coating is pretty damn thick. I thought the fragrance leeched some of the metal of the bottle in order to add a metallic edge to the fragrance. Guess not. I'm not giving you a hundred dollars lol.

theres no doubt about it. The coating easily scratches off with a knife. I ran the knife along an edge and you can see glass. The coating is thin. Probably electroplated.
