Description
This set of three vintage blue glass apothecary jars features classic bubble-style forms and rich European color. Made in Belgium and marked on the base, these jars bring timeless pharmacy charm to shelves, vanities, and display cabinets.
Their saturated blue glass catches the light beautifully, shifting from cobalt to aqua depending on angle and illumination. With original domed glass lids and authentic mid-century styling, they’re equally suited for decorative use or gentle storage.
One jar is missing the original plastic gasket inside the lid—fully disclosed and priced accordingly.
