A rare and collectible large antique Pyrex apothecary jar with its original fitted lid, marked “TS Pyrex 34” on the lid and “B4 Trademark Pyrex Made in U.S.A.” on the base. This beautiful clear glass jar remains in excellent condition for its age, with no chips, cracks, or breaks.
Standing approximately 11 inches tall with the lid (10 inches without) and measuring 5 inches wide at the base, the jar features classic early Pyrex clarity and thickness, characteristic of laboratory-grade glass from the early to mid-20th century. Its substantial weight and pristine form make it both a functional storage piece and a striking display item.

Pyrex, introduced by Corning Glass Works in 1915, was originally developed for scientific and laboratory glassware before becoming a beloved household brand. Early Pyrex apothecary and storage jars, like this one, were produced with heavy borosilicate glass designed to withstand temperature changes and long-term use.
Pieces marked with both “TS” and “B4” codes often indicate early production runs or specialized laboratory or apothecary use, making them highly desirable among vintage Pyrex and scientific glass collectors. Surviving examples with matching original lids are particularly rare, as most were used extensively and seldom remained intact.
A stunning example of early American glassmaking, ideal for collectors of vintage Pyrex, laboratory ware, or antique kitchen décor.
