French Apothecary Bottle Amber Glass Cork Stopper Vintage c1930 26072129

French Apothecary Bottle

This authentic French apothecary bottle represents the refined pharmaceutical glassmaking traditions of 1930s France. Hand-blown from amber glass, this specimen was originally designed for medicinal use in traditional French pharmacies and medical practices of the early 20th century.

The rich amber coloration served a practical purpose, protecting light-sensitive pharmaceutical contents from degradation. The classic apothecary form features a cylindrical body with gently rounded shoulders, topped with a well-fitted cork stopper. Hand-blown construction reveals subtle imperfections and character marks that authenticate its artisanal origins and period craftsmanship.

This French apothecary bottle measures 14.5cm in height and 7cm in diameter at the base (5.7" x 2.8"). The piece displays good condition consistent with its age, showing the natural patina and minor wear expected from nearly a century of existence. The cork stopper remains intact and properly seated.

An ideal addition to vintage medical collections or period pharmacy displays, this bottle exemplifies the functional design principles that governed French pharmaceutical equipment of the interwar period.
