Nice brocante square white porcelain jar decorated with gold-coloured flowers. On the jar an image of a lady checking her hairstyle in her hand mirror.
This set of 4 antique wooden apothecary jars from the 19th century tell a fascinating story about the history of medicine and the role of pharmacists in society. At a time when modern medicine was still in its infancy, pharmacists were essential figures in healthcare.
These wooden jars were used to store a variety of ingredients and preparations, from dried herbs to powders and ointments. Each jar is printed with the Latin name of the ingredient or preparation. On 1 pot the lettering is almost invisible, the pot has been used so often. Wood was used for the pots because it was not only affordable but also easy to work with and also provided sufficient protection for the contents.
Some cracks and some minor damage, see photos/H2>
