Description

Antique Apothecary Bottle – “Calc. Carb. Prepar.”

 

A handsome antique glass apothecary bottle featuring a hand-painted enamel label with gold border reading “CALC. CARB. PREPAR.” (Calcium Carbonate, Prepared). This clear glass bottle includes its original ground glass stopper and exhibits fine hand-blown characteristics, including a polished pontil mark on the base.

 

Bottles of this type were common in pharmacies, used to store mineral and chemical compounds for compounding medicinal preparations. The striking white-and-gold label exemplifies the elegant yet practical design typical of professional druggist shops of the Victorian era.

 

A beautiful and authentic example of period medical glassware, ideal for display in a Civil War medical collection, Victorian apothecary setting, or early pharmaceutical exhibit.

 

Measures 11 inches in overall height. Wide opening of 3 inches.
