Seller's description
Specifications
Antique cobalt blue glass timed-dose cup originally made as the removable cap for a John Wyeth & Brother medicine bottle.
The base is embossed:
“THIS CUP HOLDS A HEAPING DESSERT SPOONFUL”
Numbers 1 through 12 appear around the upper edge. These numbers were not mold indicators—they represented hours of the day. When placed on its original Wyeth medicine bottle, the cup could be rotated against a marker reading “Take Next Dose At,” helping the patient remember the time of the next dose.
This bottle-and-dose-cup design was patented on May 16, 1899. Deep cobalt blue examples are generally associated with the earliest production period, approximately 1899–1910.
The original medicine bottle is no longer present. This listing is for the antique glass dose cup/cap only.
Its rich cobalt color and unusual pharmaceutical history make it an appealing addition to:
• Antique medical collections
• Apothecary and pharmacy displays
• Cobalt blue glass collections
• Bottle and advertising collections
• Curiosity cabinets
• Historical shelf displays
