popeyecollector Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I can not find the name for this bottle but similar glass shapes were used to draw out infections and boils beneath the skin. The glass was gently heated - then the open end was placed over an infected area. As the heated glass and the air in the jar cooled a partial vacuum was genrated - hopefully drawing out a localized infection. Big Indian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Marbles Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Mike, I believe these are referred to as "Inverted Apothecary" Jars/Bottles or "Show Globes". I have seen them called "Inverted Apothecary Show Globes". Whatever they are called, I'm sure there is a proper name among the Bottle Collectors. Type in "Inverted Apothecary" on Ebay or Google search images. Yours are super neat and a great way to display assorted marbles. Thanks for sharing!
