RIGA BALSAM PONTILLED MEDICINE. 3.6ins tall. Clear/ lead glass, oval base (AMENDED 4/7/20 - it said octgonal base, don't know how that slipped in, clearly it's oval, I wasn't drunk, for a change), flattened bulbous body with narrowing neck & rolled lip. Embossed ‘HEN/ Y/ PYNE/ WHITE CHAPPEL’ to front, ‘‘GENUINE/ RIGA BALSAM’ to rear. Base pontil. Delightfully crude, body bubbles, amber swirl in neck area.
