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 "TOXIQUE" is applied at the bottom, indicating the poisonous nature of the substance.
Used in the 19th century as a cauterizing agent, caustic potash served to destroy warts, ulcers, and necrotic tissue through chemical burning.
An extremely strong alkaline base, it did not merely burn the skin: it dissolved fats and broke down living tissue, causing a chemical burn that penetrated deep into the flesh.
Accidental ingestion instantly destroyed the esophagus and stomach, causing fatal internal perforations
Height of the bottle: 12cm with blown glass cap - Diameter at the base: 4cm
