Description

Talc powder

Pharmacy jar - Herbalism - Apothecary bottle

Late 19th century - Beginning of the 20th

Mouth-blown glass, as the depression of the cane's pontil remains under the jar.

Original label made of black-framed paper, with the handwritten inscription in ink "Talc pulv." (for Talcum pulverisatum / Talc powder). A small secondary label affixed to the bottom specifies the precautionary statement "EXTERNAL USE." 

In powder form, powdered talc was widely used in pharmacies to absorb moisture, soothe skin irritations or serve as an excipient for making pills and powders.

Tin stopper.

It comes from an old cellar-laboratory in a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had not moved since the late 1950s on the shelves. The cellar had served as a laboratory for medical analyses and a laboratory for magistral preparations of the pharmacy from 1900 until around 1950.

This large-capacity jar was a reserve jar intended for the storage of raw materials to be processed into powders, tinctures or infusions in the pharmacy laboratory.

Diameter 10cm. Height with cap 24cm
