A rare and visually striking collection of five original Victorian apothecary bottles, each retaining its original gilded glass label and ground glass stopper.

These bottles were once essential fixtures in a 19th-century chemist’s or physician’s cabinet, used to store medicinal tinctures, extracts, and compounds.

Each bottle is made from hand-blown glass with wear consistent with age, including light internal residue, label flaking, and natural patina.

The surviving gold and black script labels bear classic pharmaceutical abbreviations including TR. CINCHON, GLYCY, and SP. COLOG., offering a beautiful blend of form and function.

Whether you’re curating a period apothecary display, adding to a cabinet of curiosities, or styling a gothic interior or Halloween setup, this collection is sure to captivate.

A perfect example of Victorian craftsmanship and medical history.
