are widemouth vials a thing?

I've exhausted my searching powers, and found next to nothing. I have what amounts to a widemouth 7mL glass vial, which seems to be quite rare (apparently)... Much handier for loading in solids and samples.
- The cap says 'Upjohn pat. no. 2549404' and is made of PP, but beyond this it bears no identifying marks. The patent drawing is from 1946 and is not very similar, so not too helpful. The vial used to have a label, but no more. Where does that leave me? I'm on the verge of commissioning some more, and figured I'd ask around first.

Search for '10ml ground glass Jar' (or 'bottle' )
or 'weighing jar' (or 'bottle')

Very helpful, Sulaiman! I found plenty of options on Aliexpress.

Also, I've found the origin of this particular bottle, a formulation called Medaprin.
