20 years ago, I found about 30 of the small size Japanese cobalt blue medicine bottles at a construction site in downtown Seoul. They date from about 1910 to about 1925. I love the cobalt blue glass. The half dollars are for size reference.

Nice finds! Any idea what they contained? I remember hearing opium, but you can hear a lot of things.
