Cool bottle... Any ideas?

[diggyboy]

I dug this at an old dump today. I held onto it because it looked really cool and unique. I don't think it's too old because it looks to be a screw top. It has no markings on it. If anyone knows the age or what was in it, please let me know. Thanks for looking and HH

Looks like a salt/pepper shaker. Maybe someone will recognize it and let you know

Unless you have "Mini-Me" hands I'm ruling out a S&P shaker, a sugar shaker might be more plausible if it is indeed some sort of shaker...

I get the feeling the design will be related to the use and/or contents

Thanks for the ideas! Here's some pictures next to a water bottle for size comparison

I am guessing bath salts or toilet water. As fancy as it is it looks like something that may have come in a Xmas gift box. From 1940s or late 30s .

Before I saw it was closed on the bottom, I thought it was a glass lamp-shade- like for a ceiling fan w/ lights. Looking at the pattern, could it be like corn? Like an ear of corn. If so, maybe it's a talcum powder bottle (corn starch reference). Just flying a wild guess. Yakker

Those are some good ideas I thought it was for a lamp or light at first too until I saw the screw top

Looks like a Atomizer for perfume. Avon had many styles like this
