Glass Medicine Bottle

Three colorless glass body fragments from a paneled medicine or perfume bottle. The bottle was mold blown and made out of non-lead glass. Similarly shaped bottles were used for a number of medicinal and cosmetic substances, thus determining exactly what the bottle contained and what it was used for is extremely difficult.
