What a great looking antique bottle. Normally when you see these large oval amber bottles, they are label only, machine made, and without any embossing. So how nice it is to see that this one is not only FULLY EMBOSSED but also it is FANCILY EMBOSSED in a very pleasing oval format. Then too, the label is HUGE and in a colorful RED and BLACK finish. It is not machine made, but a super early blown glass example with the hand finished lip. The size too is quite bold, a large tombstone shaped bottle. Whichever side is displayed is the good side, as they both look very impressive. And to save the best for last, it was an EIXLIR derived from opium, a CODEINE COMPOUND, as it has printed in large black working on the label, check it out!
