Blue glass eye bath, Europe, 1851-1920 |

| Description |
Eyebaths are a means of applying a liquid medicine or a simple wash to a notoriously sensitive part of the body. Once the ceramic bowl was filled with a liquid, the patient would place the bath over the eye, tilt their head back and open and close the eye repeatedly in the liquid. The bowl is curved to fit the socket of the eye and avoid spillage and such treatment may have been needed for an infection or to remove an irritation. Most eyebaths were made from green or blue glass and this example was made by glass blowing. It is pictured here with a green example (A606649). maker: Unknown maker Place made: Europe Wellcome Images |
