Antique “Lazarol för toaletten” Bottle – Lazarol-Fabriken, Stockholm, ca. 1900–1910 – Original Crown Stopper

A rare and beautifully preserved Swedish Lazarol för toaletten (Lazarol “for the toilet”) glass bottle, produced by the Lazarol-Fabriken of Stockholm around 1900–1910. These finely made toiletry and antiseptic bottles were sold throughout Scandinavia during the late Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) period as part of a line of household and wound-wash products.

This example retains its original crown and cork stopper—a feature rarely surviving today, and absent even from most museum examples. All original paper labels remain intact, including the main Lazarol crest and back instruction label, showing minor but honest age and discoloration. Comparable specimens are cataloged in both the Nordiska Museet and Skellefteå Museum collections in Sweden, each dated ca. 1900–1910 and noted as produced by Lazarol-Fabriken, Stockholm.

Condition

• Excellent overall condition for age; glass is glossy, clean, and free from cracks, chips, or abrasions.
• Original crown-and-cork stopper present with surface wear and character from age; cork has naturally shrunken, loose fit.
• Front and back paper labels show mild soiling and light toning consistent with age; all corners intact and fully legible, main labels have crisp undamaged edges. Minor pencil or pen mark lower front may be reversible but no attempt has been made.
• Upper neck label shows a few weak print areas and slight wear but remains legible and very presentable.
• No restoration, repainting, or relabeling. Bottle has residual salts in the base from the original medicinal composition. Bottle has been delicately cleaned with detailing q-tips and wiped down gently. Stopper and interior left untouched.
