I have photographed a coloured glass bottle under different lighting set-ups in the studio.
.
The following are lit by:
.
Honeycomb on right side and slightly above subject
This gave a rich colour to the glass and good highlights but had stong shadows and reflection of the light in the bottle.
.
Softbox (masked) on right side and slightly above subject
Bright glass and soft shadow but weak detail and very harsh highlights and reflections.
.
2 Soft boxes (masked), one on each side and both slightly above subject
No shadow, good highlights. I like this.

Beauty dish on right side and slightly above subject
Soft shadow, well lit glass and nice highlights but harsh reflection of the light.

Umbrella on right side and slightly above subject
Good detail and soft shadow with highlights. Some harsh highlights on the bottle though.
This image shows 'drop focus technique'.
'Drop focus technique' - when a very small slither of an image is acceptably sharp and the rest is thrown out of focus.
