Seeing as how they say you can use the bottle as a hand lantern, I'm
hoping they're all glass.

Someone else asked about the material for these bottles.  The ones I've
seen/bought are glass with a glass marble, although the very top is
plastic, which may aid in filling and sealing the bottles.  I've never
tried taking one apart to see if the top is all plastic or just plastic
coated.
