I believe it is an eyewash bottle. The curved dish on top holds the eyewash and you press it firmly against your eye and tilt your head back and open your eye and the eyewash enters your eye and the foreign material in your eye flats to the top of the eyewash.
It is also Glass
It is blue hard plastic
Wyeth registered a boric acid solution for eye wash that they called Collyrium in 1937. I found bottle similar to yours that I believe is probably a little earlier than the one you have, but I won't swear to that. Here is a link to it so you can see the information that was on the label. Great little bottle! I love all things blue, especially cobalt. :-)

I have the eyewash part on the top of that bottle! My granny asked me if I saw anything in her house I wanted, and I said that cobalt blue eyewash piece on one of her rockers. I eventually was given some other things.
