Glass Jar Use?

I am wondering what this would have been used for? It is quite big and weighs 2.5 kilos, base and lid together.

thanks

Just thinking - maybe it is an apothecary jar?

just found some, and that is what they are - American and come in different sizes apparently.

Should have thought of apothecary jar before I asked the question lol!
