Well a couple of you were spot on. Here's the official blurb about it from Calke Abbey where I saw it.

    My first thought was that it was a glass fire extinguisher but it looks like it has a metal band round the middle so I'm not too sure.

    Laudanum. It’s a wild guess, based on my recollection of blue glass being used for medicine bottles.

    I'm sure I'm wrong, but was it for medicine?

    Looks like a perfume bottle - we would never have guessed a fire (extinguishing) bomb.
