Hi everyone, I live in Hawaii and I collect old Japanese glass bottles that I find in old sugar cain plantation camps. Most of the glass bottles are about 5-10 CM tall and most are clear or amber or cobalt blue in color, most have Kanji on the bottle but some do not.
I do not know what they were used for but I have found a few pictures, one said- EYE DROP BATH BOTTLE TOKYO ROTHO PHARMACY, and another one said-stomach medicine sold by YASUKAWA KOEIDO Pharmacy from the mid-Meiji to early Showa eras, there are many other bottles and I would like to get some to add to my collection, my questions is.
Does anyone know of any plase in Japan that might sell these old glass bottles or does anyone know where I can get more information on these glass bottles, like books or websites? Any information would be great, thanks you very muce and aloha.
