FAQs

During the 19th century, apothecary glass measures were essential tools used by chemists and medical practitioners to accurately dispense liquids for tinctures and prescriptions. Conical shapes with pinched spouts allowed for precise decanting into smaller phials.

These measures were typically hand-blown using clear soda-lime or flint glass. Craftsmen shaped the conical bowl, pinched the rim while warm to form a pouring spout, and attached a drawn stem to a flattened circular base.

Authentic 19th-century glassware often exhibits minor hand-blown imperfections, small air bubbles known as seeds, and slight asymmetry or pontil marks on the base. Later machine-made reproductions usually display uniform wall thickness and distinct mould seam lines.

Small medical glassware functions as a decorative curiosity on open shelving, sideboards, or desk tops alongside leather-bound volumes and brass instruments. It can also serve as a floral holder for single botanical stems in curated vignettes.

Wash hand-blown glass gently in tepid water using a mild soap, avoiding abrasive scouring pads or extreme temperature shifts that could trigger thermal shock. Dry thoroughly with a soft microfibre cloth to prevent water marks.
