An antique amber glass pharmaceutical bottle with a distinctly conical shape , characteristic of active preparations from the late 19th century. The body flares sharply towards the base, ensuring excellent stability, while the neck is narrow and topped with a solid, ball-shaped stopper , still sealed. This unusual, almost architectural shape is not decorative but functional: it allowed for a secure grip and prevented spillage of potent solutions. The original label from Laboratoires Dausse, 4 rue Aubriot, Paris , mentions the Solution of Lily of the Valley Extract (Perrot-Goris process) , with detailed dosage instructions. The original contents are present; the bottle is unopened and sealed.
