Description

Calcined sponge powder - Sponges C: Pulv:

A 19th-century pharmacy bottle with a beautiful black and gold paper label glued to the inside. Look at the illustrations around the label, the snake and mortar, the retort, the instruments.

Sea sponges naturally contain iodine, and were used in particular for thyroid disorders such as goiter. Once calcined, they were ground into powder for easier administration.

Made of blown glass, there is still a trace of the cane's pontil under the bottle.

Sheet metal stopper

Height 22.5cm with stopper Diameter: 7.5cm

The bottle has been cleaned on the outside but not on the inside to avoid damaging the inner paper label. So there is still some dirt, stains etc on the glass inside.
