- A rare set of Royal Pharmaceutical Society Collectors Apothecary Bottles, circa 1960. - There are five bottles in total each of a different colour, each bottle is labeled in Latin with exquisite gold leaf, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society crest adorns each of the bottle necks. - They are incredible decorative pieces, each one containing a fabulous pointed glass stopper. As a collection these look wonderful together on display with diamond like qualities. - Two of the bottles have had their glass stoppers glued into the neck, one of which has had damage but been delicately restored. The black bottle has a very minor chip above the neck and on the rim. - Height 24cm, Width 14cm. Apothecary is one term for a medical professional who formulates and dispenses medicines to physicians, surgeons and patients. Label Under Glass bottles enjoyed their peak popularity from the 1800's to the early 1900's and were used for storage of many acids and bases, as well as stock compounding solutions used by many pharmacists of the time. The apothecary bottle employed an ornate label that was covered by a thin layer of glass to prevent damage, often gold leafed they were visually attractive as well as functional. The contents were listed on the label often in Latin, which was the language of medicine up until recent times.

Note the exquisite gold leaf framed labels which make them real collectors items (and add value). These elegant bottles lined pharmacy shelves until the late 1920s. We’ve selected the bottles with the most attractive and desirable titles as well as pretty finish and in a variety of sizes and assorted top designs to compliment each other. The rounded stoppers are hand blown glass making them more valuable than the others due to it’s finer craftsmanship, the plain chisel top designs are elegant and feel extremely tackle to the touch fitting perfectly with ones thumb, with some finished with superb hand cut edges which are more labor intensive specimens, and almost reminiscent of a perfume bottle. The shorthand Latin (some ancient Greek) names for these botanical delights gives more detail to be admired. They are all empty but some have a wonderful slight residue of its past contents lining the inside of the bottle. Unusual and stunning treasure as a unique feature to accessorise your interior just as fragrance bottles and cosmetic jars would.
