You're welcome.
There are some verbs that have adjectival forms that look exactly like the verb form. "open" and "welcome" are two examples.
Adjective
The door is
open.
You are
welcome.
Verb
They
open up at 6:00.
We
welcome you to the family.
If a verb already has an adjectival form, then there's no need to use its past participle as an adjective.

Do you actually say:
"This bottle is open"
"This door has been open"

Yes. "open" functions as an adjective; e.g., the door has been open since this morning. "open" describes the state of the door. If it were, say, "This door has been opened", then "opened" functions as a past participle, as part of the verb, and it tell us that
someone has opened the door.
