Large Pharmacy Pear Shaped Show Globe with Pontil to base. Medicine Chemist Large Pharmacy Pear Shaped Show Globe with Pontil to base. Clear. 379 mm without stopper. Stopper is 245 mm.. 1880s
Excellent. Little inclusion to upper lip. Some fine dirt and grime which looks like it should all clean off. Some scratches. Usage wear under the base. The stopper is the same style as those used on these pieces judging by other examples I found on the internet. This one had the part that goes into the globe broken off. The vendor glued a chunk of wood on which he was going to whittle down to fit, but never got around to it. So, still need a bit of work. Will look the part once sorted though. A great piece of pharmaceutical history, show globes can be quite sought after. Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $150 - 200
