I see these bottles for sale occasionally as "truffles bottles." Some have pontil scars.
Van den Bossche illustrates one with an applied seal (Plate 268) and says:
"A French storage/preserving bottle used for preserving truffles. Sealed 'AR' surrounded by 'CONSERVES de TRUFFLES garanties' (Preserves of Guaranteed Truffles). These characteristic bottles were afterwards also used for preserving other foodstuffs. They are even known with original closure and label for containing 'Eau de Cologne.' Black glass. Bare iron pontil. c. 1860. H: 25cm. [Diameter] 7.7cm. Cap: 41cl."
Some of these bottles are earlier, some later. Yours, Barnie, looks like a later lip, but it's difficult to say from the pic. What sort of pontil scar does your bottle have?

I don't track prices for truffles bottles, Barnie; but you can get price info from eBay.
Go to eBay => search => advanced search => "truffles bottles" => completed items
