This Weeks' Snow Flake Blue bottle dates to the late 19th century and originally held laundry bluing, a household whitening agent used to brighten linens and clothing. The glass contains manganese, which has transformed into a rich amethyst hue due to later irradiation exposure. The piece displays authentic age and character with some internal cloudiness and a small flea bite on the rim. Embossed lettering reads "WEEKS' SNOW FLAKE BLUE" across the body. A genuine example of early domestic packaging that bridges the worlds of industrial glassmaking and Victorian homemaking.
