Not only that though, what kind of lid could they have that would allow the light to pass through?

I see, so why not just swill a bit of red paint around in a clear bottle?

Yeah that works, but I don't think beetroot juice will work on glass :-)

Just bought some Rustoleum spray glass paint which had zero effect when sprayed into a open ended vessel. it just pooled at the lowest point. Ordered some brushable alternative but even if it's successful it won't be the same as genuinely red glass.

These items started off as red when they were built in. After cleaning they became a lot less red. I'm in the process of buying various paints to make the ex-red, red once again. But it would've been so much easier and more e ffective if the red glass had been red and stayed red in the first place.

So true but it seems quite pervasive throughout the digestive and excretory system when eaten in quantity.

Bit late to do anything now. Any paint you apply to the outside will inevitably deteriorate over time, although some may last longer than others. Google for clear acrylic glass paint. OTOH if you do consider cutting one or two of the now-colourless bottles out, pour some of the paint into the bottle, swill it around, pour out the excess and let it drain and dry. Then cement it back into the wall. But I suspect the 'join' will always show.
