AURANT
17th-18th century
This blown and molded square-shaped bottle has a narrow neck, a flared lip, and a round glass stopper. The baked white enamel shield is framed by stylized blue leaves with red and yellow flowers. A yellow crown sits atop the shield. The label has the alchemical symbol for Spirits above the text <i>AURANT.</i> This bottle would have held a solution of aurantiorum (orange) that was prescribed to help stomach pains.
