The development of glass production in the late 1700s meant that shop fronts could have larger windows. Pharmacies put carboys filled with brightly-coloured liquid in them to advertise the profession. Come and see this one in the #RPSMuseum https://rphar.ms/2M2XFkP #MuseumMonday.
I love teaching my Hx of Rx students about the history of the carboy (show-globes here in the States).

Today, the first cycle of experimental trials is concluded with the Chalcolithic apparatuses of Tepe Gawra of 4200, 3700, and 3500 BC, using Pine tree and Rosemary leaves. This last is the most recent (3500 BC), corresponding to No. 2227 of the Penn Museum and No. 2838 of the Baghdad Museum, which distilled for 5 hours. Archaeometry analyses of the scented produced water are in progress.
It is our intention to replicate the experiments with fermented hydromel or barley to verify whether it was possible to produce alcoholic beverages with the same apparatuses and accessories.
