A beautifully preserved English medicine glass in leather case, possibly from the 1930s or earlier, used for measuring out liquid medicines. The larger glass cup displays hand-engraved marks for teaspoons, the smaller glass for “minims,” a measurement equivalent to one drop of water.
Glasses like this were used in the home but were also standard kit for doctors or nurses when carrying out home visits. This set is in remarkable condition with only very minor wear. A unique and special gift for someone in a healing profession or anyone with an interest in vintage glassware or apothecary.
Dimensions: Case – 2-5/8” H x 2-3/8” W”
Condition Notes: Minor rubbing on top edges of case. No discernible scratches or blemishes on either glass. Overall in excellent vintage condition. See photos for more detail or contact the shop with any questions.
