Laboratory or pharmaceutical dispensary bottle, typical of the late nineteenth or early twentieth century.
Made of blown transparent glass, it has a trace of pontil visible on the bottom, reflecting traditional artisanal manufacturing. It has its original cap honed with emery BUT the bottle is blocked and does not open, sealed by time.
Beautiful enamelled label stenciled surrounded by a brown/red border. This baked enamel technique guaranteed great resistance to handling and chemicals in the pharmacy. A red regulatory label marked "POISON" is applied at the bottom, indicating the poisonous nature of the substance.
Made from mercury and ammonia, White Precipitate (amido-mercuric chloride) was one of the leading remedies in 19th-century dermatology.
Used as an ointment against ringworm, scabies, or syphilitic chancres, it was also sought after, at one's own risk and peril, for its skin-lightening properties.
Highly toxic, this mercurial salt caused, in the event of overdose or accidental ingestion, irreversible kidney destruction and the usual ravages of mercury: uncontrollable salivation, ulcero-necrotic gingivitis, tooth loss, tremors, and severe neurological disorders.
It is an extremely toxic mercury salt. Even when applied to the skin, repeated use caused mercury to cross the epidermal barrier. When taken orally, it is a violently corrosive poison for the entire digestive system.
Height of the bottle: 11cm with blown glass cap - Diameter at the base: 4cm
