Description

Quinium

Antique pharmacy blown-glass bottle - 19th century

There is still a trace of the blowpipe pontil mark under the bottle. Painted enamel label

Quinium: A pharmaceutical preparation based on cinchona traditionally used as a febrifuge and bitter tonic, particularly against malaria and fatigue.

It comes from the old cellar-laboratory of a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had not been moved from the shelves since the late 1950s. The cellar had served as a medical analysis laboratory and a laboratory for the pharmacy’s compounded preparations from 1900 until around 1950.

Height of the bottle: 12cm

The cap is broken in the neck but does not move.
