Mikey is feeling good about himself and wants to celebrate by buying himself a present. So he is roaming around Sears when he runs into Billy the salesman in the small appliances section. Billy asks him what he is looking for and Mikey explains that he just wants to buy himself a present. Billy says to Mikey, “You are in luck! We have this great new coffee machine that you can pre-set to make your coffee in the morning.”

antique apothecary collectible jars
Apothecary comes from the Latin and the Greek, apotheca, meaning storehouse and literally meaning a place to put things away. Later, the word became associated with a person who stored and dispensed drugs, what we know today as a pharmacist. In many small towns and historic places, you may still come across an apothecary. In the early years, the apothecary was also the pharmacist, who was also your general store manager. In most cases, the apothecary also made and mixed a lot of his own “medications.”
These medications had to be stored somewhere and that’s where the antique apothecary jar comes into play. Most of the oldest antique apothecary jars are in the abarello shape, that is they are round jars with concave sides and examples dating back to the 15th century exist today. In most cases the older apothecary jars were made of porcelain and in later years were made of glass. In most cases the glass jars were more expensive than the medicines that they held. Some of the more expensive examples of apothecary jars are those of the 15th & 16th century that have nature scenes or other artistic value.

This gets Mikey excited, a new gadget to play with. So Billy goes on to explain how everything works; how to plug it in and set the timer, go to bed and then when he got up the coffee would be ready. A few weeks later, Mikey is again roaming around Sears when he runs into Billy again. Billy asks, “Hey Mikey, how do you like that new coffee machine?” Mikey says, “Wonderful, except I don’t understand one thing. Why do I have to go to bed every time I want a cup of coffee?”
Riverside Glass Works started producing Empress Pattern glassware around 1898. Empress glassware is a beautiful rich emerald colored glass which usually has a gilt design. Many of the pieces made were normal tableware and included pitchers, cruets, sherbets and compotes. However,
