Saw a programme on TV that explained that in Victorian times poison bottles were made in distinctive shapes so that people could identify them in the dark and not take an unfortunate swig!
The mind boggles about what poisons might have been inside…. laudanum (opiates) thru to neat alcohol in dangerous amounts! ( and more) I think babies were given such stuff, to make them sleep while mum worked !! Those were the days…… ( I like the blue though!)
