It appears that the necks nestle into the base of the adjoining bottle, and the mortar seals them shut. The corners are unsealed because there is nothing to nestle into.

I imagine the performance is similar to glass block, which means they are not load bearing and they are a poor insulator compared to a regular wall.

They sure look cool though. They could probably be used anywhere that glass block is used.
