When reading this, an idea just popped into my head.  I've nver done
Lego surgery before but with a craft knife, you could cut the side bar
off one of the faucet/tap/lamp base pieces, and stick it onto a 1x1
cylinder and have a fair rendition of a long-neck type bottle.  Is there
a cleaner way to get that?

Hmm. Interesting. I guess that would be the piece, or if you could bring
yourself to cleanly cut a chalice base off, put the chalice on the bottom of a
round 1x1 and turn the whole thing upside down. But I don't do surgery.

Belville sets use a 1x1 cone on top of a 1x1 cylinder.  Not very
long-neckish, but it doesn't require major surgery, either.

I've done that with trans colors to make wine bottles. But you're right - the
long neck is still lacking here.
