However, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the color of glass products was often naturally determined by the metal components in the material, and intentionally creating red or yellow glass was very costly and technically difficult. Green glass naturally occurred easily with the inclusion of iron or chromium, and blue glass could be produced relatively cheaply by adding cobalt. Red glass, on the other hand, required expensive materials like gold or copper, and its production was highly challenging. In other words, \"green and blue were suitable as materials for poison bottles that were inexpensive and easy to mass-produce.\" Poison bottles conveyed warnings not only through color but also through touch and shape. Vertical ribs (for non-slip grip) or embossed designs like skulls or 'X' marks were added to the bottles, and words like \"POISON\" or \"NOT TO BE TAKEN\" were prominently embossed. The emphasis was on \"danger that can be felt\" for night-time use or for those with visual impairments. Therefore, it was not always necessary to rely solely on a visually dependent approach like \"red = danger.\" Green and amber glass also had UV-blocking properties, serving the purpose of preventing the degradation of chemicals. Colors were also chosen for their functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e※Based on research by AI.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"イエローガレージ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42761276686420,"sku":"R070130","price":12000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/3856\/4948\/files\/0_f63212ae-152f-4c63-abc9-30a7ebacd117.jpg?v=1765767950","url":"https:\/\/adhocstore.com\/en\/products\/european-antique-green-glass-poison-bottle-poisonous-nc-ltd-1920s","provider":"ADHOCストアー","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
