Antique Ceramic Inhaler




SOLD

Vintage/antique "Improved Inhaler". Large white earthenware bulb with cork stopper and glass mouthpiece, used for treating asthma and other respiratory ailments. These were produced for many years from the Victoria era onwards and by several manufacturers. This one is unmarked and I cannot age it accurately. The stopper is in most parts complete, only a little has flaked away from the top and I have not removed it. I have though slid out and cleaned the mouthpiece. This is complete and undamaged bar a little wear around the crimped top part. The bulb is in perfect condition. 

25cm x 13cm

Weight incl packaging: 1.1kg
