Sorry if I have the wrong forum to post this question to UK farmers, or
sheep farmers, but we don't have access here in Belgium (Brussels can't do
everything, as you might well know) to the specialized forum in British
farming, at least I don't know any.

I have found a strange objet, like a flat bottle in transparent glass, with
two necks, one on each side

It's about 20 cm wide and 7 cm high

It bears an inscription on the top, inscribed in the glass

THE AGRIPPA BAND

and, just under this : TEAT
WILL NOT
SLIP OFF

It's gratuated in OUNCES on one side (between 1 to 7)
and in TABLE SPOONS on the other side (between 1 to 15)

For this reason, I suppose it was used in UK
It's obviously old, certainly before WW2, maybe even before 1900

I supposed it could be in relation with milk farming, maybe ewe, not cows
(it's too little for cows)

Does anybody know for what purpose it was made, or any other forum where I
could post this request ?

Try uk.business.agriculture

My guess is that it is for bottle feeding orphan lambs or calves but it
is a little before my time.
