The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Pharmacy carboys, also known as show globes, were displayed in 19th-century chemist shop windows filled with coloured liquid to signify the apothecary trade to the public.

These vessels were hand-blown using clear soda-lime glass, resulting in slight structural asymmetry, enclosed air bubbles, and a ground pontil mark on the base, fitted with a custom stopper.

Authentic pieces display subtle irregularities in the glass density, pontil scars from the blowing pipe, hand-cut facets on the stopper, and minor contact wear on the underside.

A pharmacy carboy functions as a decorative focal point on a sideboard, window sill, or shelving unit, where natural light highlights the translucency and profile of the glass.

Clean the glass using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemical agents or rapid temperature shifts that could cause thermal stress and fracturing.
