Ametista's Artistic Apothecary

French medicine bottles circa WWII have been artistically enhanced to produce these divine, must have apothecary bottles.

These functional works of art are the perfect addition to any fine potions cupboard, kitchen or salle de bain.

They are also our submission for the Creepy Queen celebrity baskets.
