Set of 8 Vintage French Amber Apothecary Bottles with Original Labels

This striking collection includes eight vintage amber apothecary bottles from France, each retaining its original Latin label and matching glass stopper. The jars vary in size and shape, including tall bottles for Acid. acetic. and Sem. Foenugr. plv. as well as squat jars for Myrrha, Camphora, and Tinct. Rhei aquos. The amber glass glows beautifully in natural light, offering both decorative charm and pharmaceutical history. Minor scuffs and light label wear are consistent with age and use but all pieces are in excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks.
