Description

A lovely cobalt blue bulk chemist bottle made in Holland by Polak & Schwarz.

A striking cobalt blue chemist’s bottle, originally used for bulk storage of apothecary liquids and dry compounds. The deep blue glass served a practical purpose — protecting light‑sensitive contents — but today it’s the colour and clean utilitarian form that make these bottles so appealing as decorative pieces.

Typically hand‑blown or mould‑blown, bottles of this type have a satisfying weight, a thick rolled lip, and the subtle irregularities that come with early pharmaceutical glassware. The rich cobalt tone catches the light beautifully, giving the bottle strong visual presence whether displayed alone or as part of a group.

A classic example of early 20th‑century chemist’s ware, ideal for collectors of antique apothecary items or anyone seeking a bold, sculptural piece of coloured glass.
