I love the look of vintage bottles, and the pharmacy ones are some of my faves.
I recently found a new one on my jaunt to DOP Antiques for only $20.00. It is a perfect addition to my growing collection.
Once filled with colorful tinctures and remedies, bottles like these lined the shelves of European apothecaries in the 19th century. They've since found new purpose in the bath or other areas of the home. I display my collection on the secretary in the parlor.
My favorite are the amber-colored ones, but I do have a couple of transparent ones too.
What do you like to collect?

Pharmacy Bottles, y’all!
Love the vignette on the secretary with the vintage apothecary bottles. I, too, like the amber-colored ones. I used to collect Santas, but I don't anymore. Ran out of room to put them. Anyway, have a good day! xoxo
ReplyDeleteCharming, as always. This reminds me, I've always wanted to tour the pharmacy museum in New Orleans. Is it any good?
ReplyDeleteYou should keep Sweet Tarts in your bottles and when visitors come by, take a few and pop them in your mouth!
I love those old bottles. They can be quite pricey, so you found one for a very good price! I like the brown ones that you're using in your décor.
ReplyDeleteRon, very cool collection! Love how you display them on the secretary. I ordered my birthday 'Cafe du Monde' mini from Jax yesterday! Can't wait to get it and then ponder my next mini from her!

These bottles are just a bucket load of charm....love them. Do you make your own labels ?
ReplyDeleteLove them. Always wonder what the labels say.
ReplyDeleteThe pharmacy bottles are so interesting and look great on your secretary.
