Apothecary Bottle, OL CINAM

18th century

This free blown bottle has rounded shoulders, a circular-shaped glass stopper, and dates from the eighteenth century. The baked enamel label is typical of the Rococo style popular at the time. The label is a white oval-shaped cartouche and is outlined with blue stylized acanthus leaves and pink ribbons. The center of the cartouche is marked in black, <i>OL CINAM</i>, Oil of Cinnamon. It is one of a group of six small containers used for oil extracts.
