TINCT APERITIV

18th century

This blown and molded square-shaped bottle has a baked enamel label marked <i>TINCT APERITIV</i>. The European Apothecary Collection contains dozens of drug jars with this same embellishment. The generic blue and yellow decoration with its stylized crown above the cartouche is similar to glass drug jars in the collection of the Deutsche Apotheken Museum in Heidelberg, Germany.
