Antique Apothecary Bottle with Chemical Contents

$27.00

A genuine little relic from the era when science felt tactile and mysterious.
This antique glass apothecary bottle still contains what is believed to be sodium acetate, complete with an aged cork stopper and remnants of its original paper label.

The glass shows gentle wear from age, and the contents have settled into a crystalline, snow-like mass. It’s the kind of object that feels right at home on a curiosity shelf, in a gothic vignette, or styled into a Halloween or academic-inspired display.

This piece is sold strictly as a collectible and display object, not as a usable chemical container.
