Yes it is a perfume bottle, if the stopper fits well then it is probably original. The stoppers and sometimes the inside of the bottle neck are ground so that a good seal is established. Age - I would guess anytime in the last twenty or so years and that they are still being made at Mdina.

I have one too, though without the stopper.  Typical Mdina colours.
