About the Item

We are delighted to present you with this rare pair of ceramic albarello drug jars traditionally used for storing herbs, ointments, and medicines. They originate from the 18th century. They display a cylindrical shape, which is a typical form of the Albarello jars, designed for easy gripping and space-saving on shelves. Moreover, they feature a Maiolica decoration using a blue and white pattern with intricate botanical designs. This style of decoration is typical of Italian and Spanish Baroque ceramics from the Renaissance era in the 18th century. This gorgeous pair of jars would not only compliment any stylish medicine cabinet but is also a testament of the artistic significance in early modern pharmacy traditions.
