Open vs. Opened

Hello,

I am trying to figure out which of the flowing sentences is correct.

1) This bottle is open.
or
2) This bottle is opened.

Another one is:

3) This is an open bottle.
or
4) This is an opened bottle.

Thank you very much for your help!

or2) This bottle is opened. You want to use #1: This bottle is open. The word "open" is used as an adjective, and that's what we would say to describe the state of the bottle.
