A Trio of Victorian Cobalt Blue Glass Apothecary Bottles - A trio of antique cobalt blue glass apothecary bottles of cylindrical form with flared rims and slightly tapering bases. These vessels are characteristic of late 19th-century pharmaceutical storage. Each bottle retains a portion of its original, heavily aged paper label with printed black text. One bottle is fitted with a ground glass stopper featuring a flat, rounded finial in a dark contrasting glass, while the other two bottles are presented without stoppers. The labels are transcribed as follows: Bottle one: SYR: TOLU Bottle two: SYR. SENNE Bottle three: GLYCERINE The glass exhibits minor surface wear and internal residue consistent with historical use. No manufacturer marks are visible on the exterior of the glass.
