A fantastic set of four antique apothecary bottles. All have original gilt edged glass labels and wide necks. The label under glass labels show that the bottles are late 19th Century. The  “Label Under Glass” was a technique used so that an elaborate and decorative label would be protected by covering in a thin layer of glass.

One of the bottles has the makers mark for the 'York Glass Co'. The York Flint glass company was set up in 1835 by Joseph Spence. They specialised in medical and pharmacy measuring vessels. The York Glass Company who operated in the latter 19th century/ early 20th century and would have made these bottles on a large scale as demand grew through the industrial revolution.
