Description
Technical Description 18th-century apothecary medicine bottle, free-blown from a transparent lead glass of a pale aqua-blue hue. Tapering cylindrical body with a high conical kick-up and rough pontil; tubular neck leading to an everted horizontal lip. Apothecary bottles and phials were used extensively during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries to store and transport medicines, oils, powders and chemicals. This is a fine example of a bottle most likely used for medicine, the kicked-up base is designed to allow any sediments to gather more easily around the bottom of the bottle and not be poured. Date & Origin England, c1740-60. Period of George II or III. Dimensions Height: 9cm Diameter: 4cm Provenance Property of a private collector, Edinburgh (1938-2021).
