Antique Green Glass Apothecary Bottle with 'PHENAZON' Label

This item is an antique apothecary or pharmaceutical bottle, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. It is constructed from green-tinted glass, which historically was used to protect light-sensitive compounds from degradation. The bottle features a stoppered neck, characteristic of a chemical or pharmaceutical container for powders or liquids. Its squat, wide-mouthed form suggests it was designed for easy access to its contents. A prominent, rectangular paper label with rounded corners is affixed to the front, displaying the word 'PHENAZON' in bold, black capital letters on a light grey or off-white background. The label appears to be aged, with some discoloration or yellowing visible, especially around the edges, suggesting its vintage nature. The glass itself exhibits some imperfections indicative of earlier manufacturing processes, such as slight variations in thickness or small bubbles within the glass, which are common in hand-blown or semi-automated glass production of the period. The surface of the glass shows some general wear, including minor scuffs or scratches consistent with age and use, but no major chips or cracks are discernable from the provided image. The stopper, also made of green glass, appears to be original to the bottle, fitting securely into the neck opening. The overall craftsmanship suggests a utilitarian but well-made item typical of pharmaceutical packaging from its era, valued not for ornate decoration but for its functional design and historical context.
