ANTIQUE IMPERIAL GLASS APOTHECARY MEASURING CYLINDER
10 FLUID OUNCES (c. 1890s-1910s)

PRICE: £35

A wonderful Late Victorian to Edwardian clear glass apothecary measuring cylinder, standing as a raw and elegant testament to historic pharmaceutical compounding and laboratory precision. This utilitarian vessel features a classic, wide-mouthed cylindrical body crafted without a neck, engineered with a hand-formed pouring spout at the rim and resting securely on a short, flat pedestal foot.
The front profile showcases exceptional, deeply acid-etched or wheel-engraved scales displaying the traditional British system of volume: "IMPERIAL MEASURE", alongside precise increments for "PINT", "1/2", "1/4", and a primary vertical scale numbered 1 to 10 for "FLUID OUNCES" (with 10 ounces equating exactly to a half-pint).

Condition:
Offered in excellent antique condition with no cracks, structural flaws, or major chips. The clear antique glass displays beautiful primitive clarity, holding characterful tiny air bubbles trapped within the walls during its manufacturing process. A highly geometric and tactile laboratory specimen, providing magnificent depth, authenticity, and light-refracting charm when displayed alongside period chemist bottles in a private gallery setup or an advanced curiosity collection.
