    I know that this isn't rare, as I bought 2 at 2 different occasions, and found a few more online (inluding a green and a brownish version), but I would like to know how old this is and if someone recognises the logo and knows what these jars were used for.
    I assume it's Italian, as the other jar has a sticker with 'made in Italy' on the cork.

    They used to be sold as apothecary jars, but I don't know if the term was correct. People collected them in the 60s, I had a small collection at the time.

    Yep, late 1960s-early 1970s from the colorways.

    The mark looks like a "Libbey" glass mark
