Collection: Antique Apothecary & Medicine Bottles from NYC

Apothecary glass is among the most collectible of antique bottle categories — and for good reason. Before the FDA standardized pharmaceutical packaging, every druggist, pharmacy, and patent medicine company produced its own distinctively shaped and embossed bottles. The pieces in this collection were recovered from New York City's historic waterfront, where pre-1950s medicinal glass has been preserved by the shoreline for decades. Cobalt blue poison bottles, amber pharmacy vials, embossed bitters containers — each piece arrives hand-selected, with its original embossing and patina intact.
