Collection of 24 Early 20th-Century Clear Glass Apothecary and Laboratory Bottles

A collection of 24 antique clear glass bottles dating to the early 20th century, associated with the world of apothecaries, medicine, and laboratories.

This type of vessel developed from the practical need to store and organize the ingredients and preparations used by apothecaries and pharmacists. At a time when many remedies were compounded in the pharmacy itself, bottles lined the shelves, holding extracts, tinctures, and other medicinal substances. They were essential tools of a profession that combined scientific knowledge with hands-on preparation.

Today, these pieces retain the charm of that world. The transparency of the glass, the play of light, and the traces left by use give them a distinctive presence. Their appeal lies both in the history they evoke and in the visual impact of the 24 pieces displayed together.

Arranged in a display cabinet, on a console, or along library shelves, they recall an old apothecary shop or a cabinet of curiosities. They can also be displayed in smaller groups, allowing each silhouette to stand out. Paired with wood, stone, or metal, they bring a sense of lightness and character to contemporary interiors.

This collection brings objects with more than a century of history into present-day spaces, inviting appreciation of their functional simplicity and the stories they carry.

In good overall condition, with marks of use and signs of age consistent with their period.
