The bottle absolutely screams UK manufacture. The crescent is exactly what embe said, a spot to apply a wax seal. I'd guess (with some experience) that it's a cognac or Brandy from the 1880-1890 ish era

Pretty sure the "horseshoe" on the original bottle was where a label or seal would have gone.
Agree; you can see wax seals applied to modern liquor in this way .

Here are the ones that I know were hand blown.
That pot at top with the spout looks awfully similar to an oriental soy sauce pot. Those are quite valuable, maybe $20-$100!!!!!!

Edit: if it's for sale, I'd love to purchase it!
