Looks good!

Things I especially like:
1. The sphere rounds out into the cylinder
2. Likewise with the cone

Is the wavy line a frosting as normally appears on these things to help 
seal the bottle? If so, I'd like to see it moved up the cone and the 
complete frosting follow it up so that most of the cone is frosted.

If it *is* frosting, it's very very cool.

I'd like to see a little rounding on the edges (as posted elsewhere, 
Round_Cylinder and Round_Cone in shapes.inc)

Overall though, it really looks good!

Cheers!
Rick

It's the glass' IOR (incidence of refraction?) that stops light passing 
directly through. As glass gets thicker it's more pronounced so that 
although it appears clear (the thin-end of the cone), almost no light 
passes directly through it, thus you get a dark shaddow. All the light 
entering that end is bounced around inside and end up exiting further up 
the cone at almost the same point as every other bit of light, thus you 
have the ultra bright patches.

Sorry if this is a bit 101 ...

Cheers!
Rick

Check Round_Cone macro in shapes.inc

Hi,

I love glass renders.
Very nice, although I agree with Rarius about the edges.

ior = index of refraction. It define by what amount the light get refracted (deviated,
bent) when 
entering the material.

I always like to see things like this, reminding me of what a ray tracer is 
all about. I think this has the look of some earlier ray traces from the 
1990's. I tend to get lost in the many others now which are more complex or 
analytic or artistic and forget they are ray traced.

You might want to add a slightly softened shadow using area_light, although 
that might deter from the clean and sharp appearance. I didn't read if 
anyone else replied to suggest that yet. There is softness to the caustics, 
so maybe that's why it is so appealing to me, too.

I like it even better. The rounded edges do make a difference don't 
they?
