beginning of the 19th century | height: 21 cm | region: Central Europe | provenance: private pharmacy museum | Albarello faience pottery | This elegant jar, probably from the early 19th century, was used to store almond syrup (Syr. Amygdalar.), which was often used in pharmacies for its soothing effects. The jar is made of porcelain, which sets it apart from traditional earthenware, and features a simple but refined empire-style decor. The front of the jar features a blue inscription in the center of an oval frame that is topped with a bow, adding a subtle decorative element typical of the Empire period. The shape of the jar is slim with a flared neck and a wider base, which gives it stability and an elegant look. Porcelain jars of this type were not only practical, but also served as decorative items in pharmacies and interiors, which at that time followed the neoclassical artefact. This jar is an exceptional example of artistic craftsmanship from the early 19th century, when great attention was paid to the aesthetics and functionality of pharmaceutical equipment. | Bidders are requested to inquire about the condition of the lot prior to the auction. Any complaints will be disregarded.
18th century | height: 21 cm | country: Spain | provenance: private pharmacy museum | Albarello faience pottery | This pharmaceutical jar comes from 18th century Spain and is an exceptional example of ceramic production of the time. Inscription "Cons. F. Rosar." probably refers to the contents - a particular preserve or extract of roses (Conserva Florum Rosarum) that was used in pharmacy for its medicinal properties. The decor of the jar is typical of Spanish faience products from this period. The oval frame with a delicate border of laurel leaves and a blue bow gives the whole jar a decorative look, while the color scheme includes the typical blue, yellow and green tones. This type of decoration is characteristic of Spanish Baroque ceramics, which emphasized both aesthetics and functionality. This jar served not only the practical purpose of storing medicines, but was also a decorative element of the pharmacy interior. Its well-preserved condition and rich decoration make it a valuable collector's item and an interesting example of Spanish ceramic craftsmanship of the 18th century. | Bidders are requested to inquire about the condition of the lot prior to the auction. Any complaints will be disregarded.
