A small, antique glass pharmacy jar used for storing powders, ointments, or medicinal substances in pharmacies and laboratories in the early 20th century. The cylindrical body retains its original lid, topped with a small, teardrop-shaped handle. The glass now displays a slightly matte patina due to use and age, a common phenomenon on old laboratory containers used for storing chemicals or pharmaceuticals.
