Corsican Moss

Pharmacy jar - Herbalism - Apothecary bottle

Late 19th century - Beginning of the 20th

Corsican Moss (Helminthochorton or Sphaerococcus helminthochorton) is a mixture of red seaweeds harvested along the coast of Corsica. It was one of the most famous deworming agents used in traditional medicine to eliminate intestinal worms.

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

Beautiful original paper label lined with a double black net. 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 9cm. Height with cap 21cm
