Originally used within laboratories, pharmacies or educational institutions for the storage of chemical reagents, the bottles retain etched panels identifying their former contents, including ammonium hydroxide, sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid. Uniform in their proportions and design, the eight bottles form a particularly attractive decorative grouping with a strong scientific and industrial aesthetic. Their transparent glass construction and etched lettering make the collection particularly suitable for display within a cabinet of curiosities, pharmacy collection or industrial-inspired interior. Presented in good vintage condition with no reported chips or cracks. Some light internal residue and age-related wear remain from historic use. The original stoppers are no longer present.
