I'd say you nailed it Oh ruler of the board. Nice work, I kneel before you!!![:)][:)][:)]
Now for a new Q. What was so hazardess to force a bottle to be broken rather that resused. I know, many things but what do you all supposed? Photographic or just anything that a company wanted it for. If you could show photo that could open a whole market!

Using it for liquors is the only example I saw. Probably where the reuse is prohibited part comes from. The distilleries would fill a normal bottle and fuse one of these on top to make it tamper proof. Like watering it down or refilling it with an inferior liquor and passing it off as the original.

That makes sense, an extreme of the "this bottle not to be sold" but prior to "federal law forbids" kinda thing.

and on the back something broke off that i never found. the bottom is flat, unglazed, no marks. my guesses would be pipe or one of those pie things you put in a pie for steam or something.
