Description

Silver nitrate

Antique pharmacy bottle made of blown glass and enameled painted label.

Red POISON label 

Signaling to the pharmacist that it is imperative to keep apart the other substances in the cabinet of toxic substances, the famous poison cabinet.

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.

Silver nitrate in solution was a major antiseptic and caustic agent in 19th-century pharmacopeia.

Applied topically as a swab on mucous membranes or skin lesions, it was also used highly diluted as ophthalmic eye drops.

Highly corrosive and toxic, this silver salt caused severe chemical burns to the digestive system, leading to death by gastrointestinal perforation, while also exposing patients to the risk of argyria, a chronic toxicity that permanently stained the skin a slate-blue color in cases of overly frequent cutaneous use.

Height of the bottle: 11cm with blown glass cap - Diameter at the base: 4cm

Dating: 19th century

There is still some product inside but the cap is blocked and does not open.
