The first thing I thought before I opened the post, was I bet it's a poison bottle (since the patterns were there for people who couldn't read or see in the dark). Would be interesting to find out if braille was ever put on a bottle. I would think not, though.

So far I dont think I have ever run across Braille lettering on a bottle.
You see that poorly blown embossing that looks sort of like braille sometimes on turn of the century bottles. Its fairly common on late Dr Kilmer bottles and a few others.

Here is a thread from the famous, but not forgotten, Bearswede that relates to this question.
