A small, antique, rectangular, clear glass pharmaceutical bottle bearing a white enamel label with a red border that reads "Tinct. Opii simp.", the traditional pharmaceutical abbreviation for simple opium tincture. The bottle retains its original ground glass stopper and still contains traces of the product, visible as dark deposits on the bottom and inner walls. The red typography, vitreous enamel, and miniature size are characteristic of early 20th-century pharmacy bottles intended for small quantities of active preparations. An authentic object, rich in history, emblematic of the old pharmacopoeia.
