Former amber glass pharmacy bottle, retaining its particularly spectacular red and black label for Opium Powder, classified as "Toxic" and dosed at 50 grams. It comes from the Coopération Pharmaceutique Française, whose headquarters were in Melun, with a second Cooper-Nantes label on the back. The stopper still bears its original guarantee seal; a strong piece, as much for the explicit presence of opium as for the regulatory "Poison" iconography and the remarkable contrast of colors.
