Antique Treen Apothecary Bottle Case 1930s pottery and I believe these are

and I believe these are probably ivory

which casts a pretty wonderful shadow

of the beach in the bright summer time

The spiraled tusk is actually an elongated tooth

Antique Treen Apothecary Bottle Case 1930s pottery and I believe these areI just love the shape of these old treen threaded cases, made to hold (and protect) apothecary bottles. The bottle here is long gone, but the box is in great shape, the hardwood gorgeous (lignum vitae?) and surely it could be put to use now holding all sorts of precious things. The lid turns closed easily and holds super tight. 4 1 16" t x 1 7 8" in diameter. There is one tiny chip at the lip, very minor; otherwise excellent condition.
