Glass Bottle

A glass bottle is an item that can hold water, potions, honey, or dragon's breath.

Obtaining
Glass bottles can be obtained by crafting, drinking from bottles, fishing, or from witch drops.

Drinking
Drinking a potion or honey bottle returns the empty glass bottle. Throwing a splash potion or a lingering potion does not return a glass bottle, but brewing a lingering potion gives back a glass bottle.

Mob loot
Witches have a chance of dropping 0–6 glass bottles upon death. This is increased by 3 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0–15 glass bottles.

Mud
a water bottle, splash water bottle or lingering water bottle on dirt, coarse dirt or rooted dirt will transforming it into a mud block, at the same time leaving the player with an empty glass bottle.

Cauldrons
a water bottle (or, $$, a potion, splash potion, or lingering potion) on a cauldron that is not yet full adds that liquid to the cauldron, leaving the player with an empty glass bottle.

Usage
Glass bottles can be filled to make water bottles, which can then be used to brew items with a brewing stand. Glass bottles are also used to hold the resulting potion.

Water
A bottle may be filled with water by holding it in the hand and it on a water source block or a cauldron that has water in it. It can also be filled using a waterlogged block.

Also, a bottle may be filled by powering a dispenser containing a bottle and pointed at a water source block. This does not work with cauldrons.

If filled via a water source, the water is unaffected. If filled via a cauldron, $1/3$ of the water in the cauldron is removed. Therefore, using a cauldron to fill water bottles is inefficient, except in the Nether where it is normally the only way to fill bottles.

Potion
$$, a bottle may be filled with potion by it on a cauldron containing potion. When the bottle is filled, $1/3$ of the cauldron's potion is removed.

Honey
If a bee nest or beehive is full, the player can a glass bottle on the block, or may power a dispenser that contains a bottle and is pointed at the block, which empties the block and creates a honey bottle.

Dragon's breath
a glass bottle in clouds emitted when the ender dragon breathes or shoots a dragon fireball fills the bottle with dragon's breath.
