A lovely antique glass Minim measure within a Medicine Glass case, circa 1870 to 1930s. This Minim measure, a small cylindrical tube with etched measurements to side, was used for precise liquid measurements with a minim equating to one drop of water. Minim measures were critical for apothecaries and medical practitioners, at a time when liquid dosages were increasingly standardised and precise with concurrent advances in medicine and technology.
