Crafted in late 18th-century France, this glazed porcelain apothecary jar by Charles-Antoine Acloque features a cylindrical body adorned with intricate hand-painted decorations, showcasing colorful botanical and symbolic motifs. Its white porcelain surface is beautifully glazed, adding a lustrous finish that highlights the meticulous craftsmanship. The jar comes with a matching lid, enhancing its functionality and aesthetic appeal. Both body and lid present golden decorative lines.
The inscription 'CER: GALENI' on the flask indicates its original contents or the substances it was intended to contain, providing a glimpse into its historical use in pharmacies. "CER" could stand for "Cera" or "Ceratum," which means wax or cerate, while "GALENI" could be a reference to Galen, an ancient Greek physician known for his contributions to medicine. Therefore, the inscription might indicate that the jar once held a medicinal preparation or ointment formulated according to Galenic principles.
Beyond its functional purpose, this jar serves as a striking decorative piece, embodying the elegance and refinement of French Provincial style. The artistry and attention to detail make it not only a valuable addition to any collection but also a testament to the enduring legacy of late 18th-century french porcelain craftsmanship.
