Steven,

     YOU AMAZE ME! And I'm a bit angry at myself for even doubting you a moment. 
You are correct, and there is no reason that this can not be a late 18th/early 19th C. glass bottle made to hold medicine, and then used (or reused?) as a bottle for painting in.

    And Marcos, please put me on the waitlist if you decide to sell the bottle! I guess I'm after George and Steven... Or am I after others, as well?  Cheesy

Best to all - Happy Purim to the Jews, Happy Easter to Christians of the 'Western Churches' (Greeks, Coptics  and Armenians celebrate it in a month),
Joey
