All bottles were made of brown (rarely green / blue) glass, as it was recognized that under the influence of light toxic changes in the ether [as well as the chloroform] could occur. The labeling of the bottles took place either in the embossing (high relief) or the etching (etching) technique. The text of our bottle was etched. Height 11.8 cm, diameter at the base 5.4 cm.
