French medecine bottle “Freres Gascard Rouen”

French medecine bottle “Freres Gascard Rouen”

Definition.

Rare antique bottle decorated with a monk

This bottle was made in the 2nd half of the 19th century, presumably made by the famous French glassworks "Legras".

The bottle is made of an alloy of glass and crystal, to obtain a more beautiful and purer glass.

In the 19th century, glass and crystal were not as pure as what we know today.

The bottle is mouth-blown in a wooden mold. At the bottom of the bottle you can still clearly see the cut-off of the blowpipe.

The bottle is also signed at the bottom with "Depose", this was the former patent that could only be used by the large recognized glass/crystal factories.

Very nice unique item for the collectors.

Given its age, a small trace of wear may be present, as well as glass threads, air bubbles and imperfections are completely normal for handmade antique glassware.
