I do periodically wonder what they were used for.

I wonder if they are something to do with christening? There are small silver christening mugs that look similar with the rings (but not the spout).

I've just been through the Corning  'Formen & Preise von Glaserzeugnissen der Meyr'schen Glasfabriken, Adolf & Leonorenhein' catalogue you linked to on the bowl thread Ekimp, just in case my shape or the pink one from Bukowski's might have been on there.  Nothing unfortunately for either shape.

It also reminds me of Russian silver tea glass holders as some of them have a raised cut out on the one side.  But it can't be that.

…reminds me of a barrel apart  from the shape with vertical flutes and horizontal banding.

Out of interest, I think these are modelled on antique coopered wooden buckets/pails. You can see some of them don’t use iron bands but each band is from two adjacent rings of split hazel or similar. These adjacent rings resemble the double bands on the glass jugs.

1830-1840 in the museum collection - possibly still too yellow?  but is uranium glass (and decorated with enamelled insects so might one day be identifiable):
