CROC. ANTIM.

18th century

This blown wide mouth glass jar has a flared collar, and an applied round foot. A baked enamel cartouche decorates the clear glass, with a white shield framed by blue stylized leaves and yellow ribbon, capped by a crown which is typical of German pharmaceutical containers of the 17th and 18th century's. It is marked <i>CROC. ANTIM</i>. Crocus Antimonii was used in the preparation of other antimony salts.
