A large blown-glass apothecary globe with a starburst etching on the front side. The etched decoration is distinctive in design, and the surface shows textural irregularities consistent with age.
Apothecary globes were used in chemist shops from the 19th to early 20th century, often placed in windows to attract attention. Whether filled with colored liquid or left clear, they served as both signage and symbolic objects of the trade.
