About the Item

A bit of science and medical history, this is a 19th century French glass bowl that would have housed parasitic leeches for use in bloodletting exercises on ailing patients before more appropriate treatments for common maladies were developed. Today, this large vessel makes a stunning and beautifully proportioned vase for flowers, fish, candy, or displaying collections of small objects–sure to become a conversation piece in any interior. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition.
