This Piece is a Historical Reproduction



This is a replica of a pharmaceutical bottle recovered from the well-stocked medical stores aboard the U.S.S. Cairo. Medicine bottles of this type contained castor oil, distilled water, sulfur, potassium, and ammonia. They were sealed with cork stopper and paraffin. Many of the bottles contained their original contents-intact after one hundred years under water. This piece measures approximately 6" high.



All of the Jamestown Glasshouse produced pieces are hand-blown and crafted by local artisans. The natural color of glass is green so if you seek historical accuracy then your best selection is the green glass items. Since every piece is hand blown and crafted there will be slight irregularities and therefore no two items will be exactly the same.



DO NOT PUT THESE HANDBLOWN GLASS ITEMS IN A DISHWASHER OR OVEN THEY ARE TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE.
