Lot 174: An Assortment of Antique Glass Apothecary Jars and Measuring Vessels

An assortment of antique glass pharmacy and apothecary items. The group includes several clear glass apothecary jars of cylindrical form with ground glass stoppers. One jar is etched to the body with HYD. […] CONC; a second jar is etched with CHROMIC ACID. A third clear glass bottle features a ground glass stopper and a gilded paper label with black lettering reading HYD. SUBCHLOR. A fourth jar, containing a white powdered residue, bears a rectangular gilded paper label reading SALICIN.

The collection further comprises multiple clear glass measuring vessels of conical form, each with a pouring lip and pedestal base. These measures feature etched graduation scales to the sides, although the numerical values are not clearly legible. One vessel is notably taller with a heavier base.

Also included is a round-shouldered green glass apothecary bottle with a matching green ground glass stopper, featuring a red and gold paper label reading LIQ. HYD. PERCH. A small clear glass bottle is present with a ground glass stopper topped with a metal component. Completing the lot is a small, flared metal vessel with a wide rim and stepped base.
