A superb antique emerald green molded glass poison bottle, adorned with two skulls in relief and the inscription "GIFT FLASCHE" (poison bottle in German). This type of container was once used to store toxic substances in pharmacies, laboratories, or doctors' offices, the macabre symbol preventing any handling errors. Its intense color and crisp relief attest to the care taken in the production of chemical glassware at the beginning of the 20th century. A rare and fascinating object, typical of the forbidden pharmacopoeia of yesteryear.
