Specimen jar in blown glass - Inverted apothecary’s bell jar
Size L - Height: 32 cm
An antique laboratory or conservatory container, this cylindrical flask with a hemispherical top is a classic of 19th- and early 20th-century cabinets of curiosities. Its distinctive shape, known as a ‘cigar end’, was designed for the display and preservation of biological or botanical specimens.
The object is presented upside down: the rounded top offers a clear, undistorted view of the contents, whilst the base, slightly flared during the hot-forming process, ensures the stability of the whole once sealed.
Made of blown glass, hence the presence of bubbles in the glass, with its original cork stopper
Perfect for displaying curiosities such as small taxidermy specimens, minerals, dried flowers, small skeletons and bones
