Description

This dramatic 13.5" amber apothecary bottle has the perfect lived-in, eerie look for horror sets, mad scientist vignettes, gothic decor, or apothecary displays. Thick, slightly imperfect glass with a classic flat flared rim and concave pontil-style base gives it genuine vintage character.

Cosmetic notes: there are surface scratches and wear from age and handling, plus a visible hairline crack on the shoulder (shown in photos). These flaws add to its distressed, haunted aesthetic but make it unsuitable for holding pressurized or valuable liquids — sell and use for props, display, or photography only.

Why it works as a prop

- Authentic vintage feel: aged amber glass and manufacturing marks read well on camera and in closeups. 

- Atmospheric color: amber tint filters light for old apothecary or potion effects. 

- Character from wear: scratches and the crack contribute to a believable “once-used in experiments” backstory. 

- Sturdy, photogenic silhouette: tall cylindrical body and narrow neck create strong compositions on shelves or tables.
