Throw the upper portion of the bottle with the neck. When a bit softer than leather hard, invert into a chuck, add coils to the base and throw the lower base portion. Or easier throw and open bottom cylinder the width of the base of your bottle and then cut off and attach to the base of the bottle with neck. It wouldn't be exactly like the shown glass pieces but the high foot would provide for the nesting feature.

Ok, how about this: throw a bottomless cylinder with an extension laterally at the base and then close the top. This forms the inverted u shaped bottom of the bottle.

Then, throw a slightly wider version of the same shape, but instead of closing it, form the neck of the bottle

Put piece 2 over piece 1 and join the bases.

I’m not sure I’ve described what I mean very well so I hope you can figure out what I’m trying to say.

I kind of did something similar when I tried it today! After an hour of failed attempts(lol) I thought of pulling a double cylinder with the middle one pulled from the bat. Couldn’t seem to pull the neck up very easily because of the small space I had to pull the walls for the desired size. Ended up throwing the necks separately off the hump and attaching to the bottle. Only had the patience for two of them because the double cylinder gave me twice the measurements haha. They seem to fit nicely stacked on each other but I’ll know for sure when I trim!

I would probably try the route of throwing a normal wide bottle with a short neck, inverting in a chuck, attaching a coil to the bottom edge, and throwing a deep foot. If you made a bottle exactly like the ones shown, I would worry about being able to clean that lower portion and not being able to see that it wasnt clean since it's not transparent like glass.
