This is an antique clear flint-glass apothecary display bottle, likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. A standout feature is its distinct warm peach-yellow fluorescence under 365 nm UV light, which is indicative of manganese used as a clarifying agent during the glass-making process of that era. The bottle showcases a beautifully pressed, symmetrical design, paired with a distinct molded, ribbed ground-glass stopper —classic hallmarks of high-quality pharmacy display ware from the period. This piece would make a striking focal point for any collection of antique glassware or scientific curiosities.
Approx. Size: 12 inches tall with stopper, 9 inches tall without stopper; 4.5 inches at widest point; stopper is 3.5 inches long.
In good antique condition with expected signs of age, such as light surface wear consistent with a piece of this age. Any spots visible in photos are reflections from the backdrop and are not flaws on the glass. This is a pressed glass piece; the stopper sits securely but has the characteristic slight wiggle common to ground-glass fitments on antique apothecary bottles.
