That is what came to mind when I said it. I am not an expert. They were usually ornate. Flowers and gold gilt accented were common.. Not that it couldn't be a vase or perfume. It just looks like a victorian dresser bottle to me.I'm inclined to think that it is not a "bottle" per se, but a flower vase, especially if the interior surface of that tapered neck is glossy smooth. By the way, are any mold seams evident? Or, is it free-blown?
However, if you find that the inside of the neck is ground to receive a ground-glass stopper, then I tend to agree with ROBBYBOBBY64, assuming that by "Dresser Bottle" he means a decorative but also functional container meant to sit upon an Victorian era lady's dresser table and intended to hold various toiletries.
American victorian vanity garniture. Which included perfume bottles and powder boxes. Usually a set. It may have had a fancy tray everything sat in.What's a Dresser Bottle?
