Antique – Glass Medicine Bottle / Small & Large 2 Sizes 750416古物 ガラス 薬瓶 小・大 2サイズ 750416
This is an antique glass medicine bottle.
Made of thick glass, the bottle rises in a clean cylindrical form. The ground-glass stopper fits securely, ensuring a tight seal.
There are signs of age such as wear and cloudiness, but no cracks or damage, and the piece remains in good overall condition. The interior has been cleaned, so it can be used with confidence.
This piece is available in two sizes. Shown here is the small size, which can be used as a container for sweets such as candies or chocolates.This is the large size. Traces remain around the mouth as if paper and wax had once been wrapped there, suggesting it may have been used to store highly volatile medicines or toxic substances. Such a method of sealing is now rarely seen, making this a valuable reminder of past techniques. There is a small chip on the rim of the body, but as an antique it is offered in its original condition.
The overall form is very simple, yet it carries the wavering texture unique to old blown glass. When light passes through, subtle expressions of handwork emerge.
It can be enjoyed simply as a display piece, or used as a storage jar for herbs or tea leaves. It also makes a charming vessel for dried flowers.
Please note: This item ships from Japan. As the buyer, you are responsible for any import duties, customs fees, or local taxes that may be charged in your country. These costs are not included in the item price or shipping cost. Please check with your local customs authority if you are unsure about any potential charges before placing your order.
