Looks pretty good. I need to give that a shot. Though mine are a bit smaller than yours that look more accurate.
I ran across this when searching. Some very good pictures there. Looks like masked spray paint from the orange peel texture. The crosses are longer than I had measured.
I snagged this on ebay.

Damn. That’s a great find in info. Now I know mine are the wrong size. Damn.
This is where I found mine but they now show as out of stock. I ordered the pink ones from Christmas Central and the iridescent ones from this link.

1.7? Damn. Mine are 1.5. Back to the drawing board.
It does say that the balls are 2 inch. But 1.75 isn't far off, and is pearlescent. 2 inch in pearlescent is the prop size as stated.
I was able to find the soap bubble iridescent glass ornaments on ebay as a set. I'll post pics once I have them in hand. I could not find them anywhere else.
The auction page images are quite detailed. The close ups on the cap show that they were cast so whatever was the original, if a found object, was duplicated. I'm assuming it was modified from the original injection molded part instead of hand sculpted. If you zoom in, you can see the bubbles left in the cast from incomplete or absent vacuum molding when casting. The bottom shows the sanding lines. I'm guessing that they were cast in an opaque resin with black tint. They look very flat. Also the side looks very straight ie no draft.
The top bevel is approximately 30 degrees off vertical. Scaling the top for a 2" ball looks like this
I believe there are 16 "flutes" on the cap assuming equal spacing.
Render with crosses. When I get the new ornaments, I'll print the new caps.

I don’t suppose I can get you to send me a few of those 2 inch bottles? I could buy my own set but I don’t plan to make 10 of these.
You've got PM.
