PULV: BEZOARD

18th century

This opaque white blown-glass jar has a wide mouth, flared lip, and applied stepped foot. The baked enamel label features a red and blue stylized wreath framing a gold and red shield topped by a gold crown with red accents. The label inside the shield is marked <i>PULV BEZOARD</i>” in black text with the first initial in red. The opaqueness of the glass comes from the addition of tin oxide in an attempt to mimic porcelain.
