Label Under Glass Bottle Set

Apothecary Bottles

Apothecary bottles were used to dispense medications and for show or display purposes. These are examples of show bottles that were reproductions of LUG or label under glass.
Label under glass bottles had a recessed section that the label was placed into. The label was then covered with a thin piece of glass to prevent the label from becoming damaged by the bottles contents. Thus the term "label under glass".
