Set of five clear glass pharmacy bottles, in various sizes, preserved with their old cork stoppers and original handwritten labels. The mentions found - "Raphanus", "Petroleum", "Calcarea", "Stramonium", "Sepia" - directly refer to the homeopathic pharmacopoeia and the substances used in preparations from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Also noted is the presence of a pinched-neck bottle, typical of small containers handled in a laboratory. The visible contents - granules, powders, and crystallized residues - reinforce the authenticity of this set, resulting from actual use in a pharmacy or medical office.
