Apothecary Jar

17th-18th century

This wide mouth glass jar has a flattened collar and an applied round foot. The clear blown glass is decorated with a baked enamel cartouche with a white medallion framed by blue stylized vines and topped by a yellow crown which is typical of German pharmaceutical containers of the 17th and 18th centuries. Below the letters <i>FL</i> is marked the alchemical symbol for sulphur.
