AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
These are antique pharmacy bottles, also known as medicine or laboratory jars, made of amber-colored glass. This type of glass was used to protect the contents from light, as some chemicals and medicines are sensitive to UV light and would otherwise decompose.
Details:
Material and Color: The bottles are made of brown/amber-colored glass, which is an essential feature for storing light-sensitive substances.
Labels: The paper labels mention Latin or Latin-sounding names of chemical substances or medicines that were previously used in pharmacies, such as:
Spiritus Citru (Citrus spirit)
Calcium phosphate
Calcium lactate (Calcium lactate)
BROMISOVALUN (Bromisoval, a calming agent)
Sodium benzoate
THYREOIDUM (thyroid preparation)
Use: Although they originally had a functional purpose, these bottles are now often collected and used as decorative items in interiors.
Note: The bottle with Thyreoidum is damaged at the bottom. See photo.
