This curated collection features over a dozen antique glass apothecary and chemist bottles, primarily dating from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. The assortment includes various forms such as rectangular panel bottles, cylindrical rounds, and specialized chemist flasks, many of which bear historic embossed lettering from local and international druggists. Notable pieces include an E.J. Adcock Ltd. Chemists bottle from Krugersdorp, a Woodward Chemist London flask, and a prominent Johannesburg mineral or medicinal bottle featuring a leaping buck embossed trademark. These pieces showcase a range of vintage glass colors, from clear and sun-purpled tints to classic aqua and light green sea-glass hues. The bottles are in good vintage condition, showing characteristic age-related wear including surface oxidation (cloudiness), minor earthen deposits, and light scuffing. There are no major structural cracks visible, and the embossed lettering remains legible on the primary focal pieces.
