Antique Herbalist's or Pharmacist's jar
The jar and its lid are made of mouth-blown glass, there is still the trace of the cane's pontil under the jar.
These jars in the shape of a candy jar with a lid were rarer and are difficult to find today. They were often put forward to show the opulence of the pharmacist's shop.
An antique blank label of the XVIIIth century was affixed on the jar.
The coat of arms of the apothecaries appears there:
The coat of arms represents the palm tree, representing plant medicines, the snake, representing medicines from animals, and the rocks, representing minerals. This coat of arms reminds us that the apothecary is educated in these three kingdoms, mineral, vegetable and animal.
Blazon dating from after 1777 and before the transformation of apothecaries into pharmacists in 1791.
