Antique Glass Apothecary Bottle with Syrup Aurantii Label Under Glass

A wonderful antique discovery, this glass apothecary bottle features its original Syrup Aurantii label beautifully preserved beneath glass. With its graceful shape, aged glass, and fascinating history, this is the kind of small treasure that brings character and a sense of story to your collected home. It has a lovely presence displayed on a library shelf, kitchen cupboard, or cabinet among other cherished objects.

The stopper bears the marks of its long journey — it was dropped many years ago and has been carefully smoothed, preserving the beauty of the bottle while adding to its authentic antique character. I love discovering antiques like this because they remind us that even everyday items from the past were thoughtfully made and beautifully preserved. A charming addition if you collect antique glass, apothecary treasures, and decorative objects with a story to tell.

  • Measures 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 9-3/4"

Collector’s Note

Syrup Aurantii, or orange syrup, was a traditional pharmacy preparation used to sweeten and flavor medicinal mixtures, making remedies more pleasant to take. Antique apothecary bottles with original labels preserved beneath glass are especially treasured by collectors for the glimpse they offer into historic pharmacy traditions. The C.L.G. Co. marking adds further interest to this charming piece of pharmaceutical history.
