Genuine vintage amber glass apothecary bottle with tin lid.
It has a white label on which it is written "Tincture Colombo".
Colombo Tincture was a pharmaceutical preparation of a spindle-rooted, twiggy sub-shrub traditionally used to relieve digestive disorders . The plant was macerated in alcohol for several weeks in the dark. The liquid was then enriched with the plant's active ingredients.
This apothecary / chemist / pharmacy / medicine storage jar bears traces of its past but will be a perfect addition to any curiosity cabinet, and will add a lovely retro touch to your interior.
