Large Size Chinese Opium Bottle or Peppermint Oil? Chinese Aqua. 1 oz. 82 mm. 1880s
Very Good. Whilst these have historically been called opium bottles, it is more likely that they contained another product such as Peppermint Oil? Labelled example exist, I just cannot recall what the product was, just that it was not opium. This is at least twice the size of the usual ones that are found, but in reality, the capacity is more likely four times the size or more. This is stained with dirt throughout. Flake to lip. Some scratches and minor marks. Interesting in this size. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $10 - 20
