Apothecary jars are a useful collectible item for collectors all over the world. From the Middle Ages, apothecary jars were initially created to store medicines in pharmacies. Over the years, they have developed into many different uses. With the evolution of medicines, preservation processes were made, and now, many antique apothecary jars are used as decorative objects, with some even selling for millions of dollars.

In recent years, the popularity of vintage apothecary jars has declined because people are less likely to drink herbal remedies that have been colored. However, there are still many people who collect these bottles as part of a hobby, or to have them displayed in their homes. To this end, collectors have found two different styles that they like to show globes in. One is the standard type of wooden apothecary jar, and the other is a glass version.
