Medium Duraglass Amber Apothecary Bottle
Cast in a rich brown glass, this mid-century pharmaceutical bottle carries a sturdy, grounded presence at 6.75 inches tall. Produced in the 1940s by Owens-Illinois, the side embossing reads "DURAGLASS," referencing a patented glass-strengthening process designed to protect light-sensitive medicines and syrups from ultraviolet rays. Base markings include the factory plant code 7 (Alton, Illinois) alongside the classic circled oval trademark, celebrating an era of honest American utility. An inviting vessel for holding wild clippings or standing alongside a gathered glass collection on open shelving.
Mid-twentieth-century molded glass featuring embossed base plant codes and side lettering. Shows gentle age-appropriate surface wear consistent with mid-century pharmacy use.
