Set of five small amber glass pharmacy bottles, preserved with their original cork stoppers and handwritten labels. The visible inscriptions clearly refer to late 19th-century homeopathic and herbal pharmacopoeia - "Aesculus" (horse chestnut), "Apis" (bee), "Spigelia" (medicinal plant), as well as bile preparations. The presence of granules and internal residues, typical of homeopathic dilutions, reinforces the authenticity of this set. The amber glass, used to protect light-sensitive substances, attests to genuine officinal use.
