ANTIQUE GLASS APOTHECARY REAGENT FLASK
WITH ORIGINAL STOPPER (c. 1890s–1915)

PRICE: £25

An elegant and beautifully clean late-Victorian to Edwardian glass apothecary jar, standing at 9.4cm tall (11.6cm including the closure). Masterfully crafted from heavy, clear glass, this specimen features a wide neck designed for the storage of pharmaceutical powders, crystals, or ointments, resting on a perfectly circular base with a 5.1cm diameter.
The flask showcases its historic manufacturing method, displaying charming, fine air bubbles trapped within the glass walls—a testament to early industrial glass-blowing techniques. It comes complete with its original, unsealed glass stopper, which features a robust, thick rectangular grip designed for practical, everyday laboratory handling. The stopper fits precisely into the ground collar, remaining easily removable.

Condition: This antique specimen is in remarkable, near-mint condition. The clear glass is exceptionally bright and clean, free from any cloudy chemical sickness, staining, or residue. Both the rim of the wide neck and the ground glass stopper are entirely free of chips or cracks, preserving their original structural integrity. A minimalist, highly tactile archival piece that brings superb light refraction and historical depth to any apothecary shelf or curio arrangement.

Dimensions:
  • Height (without stopper): 9.4cm
