New Vintage Item: Apothecary Glasses

Update on 01/31/24: I no longer sell on Etsy but please feel free to visit my more recent blog posts on gardening, such as making your own seed tapes or the different types of seeds available, food preservation like canning and fermenting, hydroponics, and more. 

Two Ponds Farm has a new vintage item available; apothecary glasses. These are graduated glasses/beakers that would have originally been used by hospitals or biology or chemistry laboratories. They work well as drinking glasses, beer glasses or a vase! I am not sure how old they are but they were manufactured by the Mercer Glass Works Company in New York City which at the time was based at 17 W 17th street (see current picture from Google maps below). They are still in their original boxes, likely never used! They are solid at almost 1 pound each and measure approximately 7.25 inches high by 3.5 inches in diameter at the top and 3 inches in diameter at the base. Please contact me for more information. Thanks!
