I picked up this cool looking bottle with top the other day at a antique store. I'm not sure how old it is or what it was used for but it is hand blown and has no seams at all on the sides.

The local antique mall has plenty of them! At least in my neck of the woods. Still a cool bottle !

I had no idea their might be a possible China connection here. The mouth of the bottle and the tapered part of the cap shows plenty of wear and tear.

Are you referring to the ground stopper? That's how they are made.
Not to disagree with Harry, that is true but I think this may have had more a laboratory use than pharmacy.

Ok, that was a half hour this is 45 minutes, I think plenty long enough.

I certainly wouldn't argue with how the bottle might be used . . . I merely suggested it is a pharmacy form. They come up all the time when I search for "pharmacy bottle." Many of those hits have labels, of one sort or the other, indicating medicinal ingredients.

I am not able to edit the foregoing post even though I used "Go Advanced" to publish it.

Anyway, here is part of the reason I called it a pharmacy form:
