It's always fun to find an antique embossed bottle with the paper label on it, and
the embossing matches the label.
It takes the guess work out of trying to figure out what was originally inside the bottle.
In this case it was paint, a paint that an artist would of used to paint with.
O
therwise this bottle could be mistaken for an antique pharmacy or drug store bottle as it is the same style and embossing pattern that was used by nineteenth century apothecary shops.
It is possible that  it contained a powder or liquid concentrate that was used to mix and make oil paint.   And yes, it is rare as only so many bottles WITH the paper labels still attached have survived 100 + + years of time
