It would possibly have had a stopper, also marked 44?
It does look like a perfume. However, is the number written in gold? It might be the gilder's personal number if that is the case. Gilders did mark things after they'd done the work, quite often. Certainly in ceramics.

Yup,i think your right Sue looks obvious now,must be a perfume,there is gilt around the base and a faded band on the rim.
