Antique Embossed Clear Glass Medicine Apothecary Bottle, c.1880-1920
Charming antique rectangular glass bottle with an embossed label panel and a rolled-lip finish neck. The bottle displays a soft amethyst-to-clear sun-coloring, a classic sign of manganese dioxide content in pre-1920 glass that has been exposed to sunlight over decades. Visible air bubbles and slight imperfections throughout the glass are consistent with period hand-production methods. The embossed text on the front panel appears to reference a pharmacist or druggist name and city, though the exact wording is partially obscured. The base shows a recessed push-up and mold seam details typical of turn-of-the-century production. No chips or cracks visible; minor interior residue and exterior grime consistent with age. Approximate height is 5 to 5.5 inches; rectangular body roughly 1.75 inches wide. A lovely display piece for bottle collectors, apothecary decor enthusiasts, or antique shelf arrangements.
