Large 19th Century Apothecary Jar with Painted Label.

19th century
Description

Large 19th century apothecary or chemist jar with gilt and black painted label and some original contents, from the large private collection of a retired pharmacist. The collection includes many bottles, laboratory glasses, potions and pastes, an iron cork press or mould, glass cabinet labels, measures and other items.

This bottle label is labelled P. Acaciae and includes a small amount of the dried contents. From the acacia tree, this is soluble in water to serve as a protective to inflamed and irritated mucous membranes of the respiratory, and alimentary tracts, as in cases of pharyngitis, laryngitis, dysentery, gastritis, typhoid fever. Also sometimes used as a protective for superficial burns, excoriations, etc.

Size-9 inches high by 3 3/8 inches diameter.

In very good condition overall with just a smooth chip to stopper edge.

A really nice and large example of an antique apothecary bottle to collect and display.

The last photo shows more of the other bottles in the collection, if more are desired. But this listing is for the one bottle.

Declaration

Serpentine Antiques has dated this piece to the 19th Century.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
