Set of three transparent glass pharmacy bottles, preserved with their original cork stoppers and handwritten or printed labels. The mentions "Stramonium", "Sepedum" and "Ovarum" evoke substances from ancient pharmacopoeia, used in medicinal or homeopathic preparations. The visible contents, in the form of granules or residues, as well as the general patina, attest to actual use in a pharmacy or laboratory. A small, coherent set, typical of pharmaceutical practices from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
