About the Item
This beautiful pair of Paris porcelain apothecary jars was entirely hand-painted in the celebrated Le Tallec workshop, active in Paris during the mid-20th century. Each jar features richly detailed scenes of exotic birds perched among flowering branches, painted in vibrant multicolored enamels with the refined, expressive brushwork characteristic of Le Tallec’s studio. The domed lids, topped with gilded finials, are decorated with matching floral and avian motifs, with gold accents enhancing the rims and contours.
Both jars bear the handwritten Le Tallec inscription and signature on the underside, confirming their authenticity and Parisian origin.
Condition:
One jar has previously been broken and carefully re-glued, resulting in a long, visible repair line running vertically down one side (clearly photographed). The restoration is stable and the jar remains structurally solid for display. The second jar is in very good condition, showing only light wear consistent with age.
Decorative, collectible, and full of charm, this pair is a lovely example of mid-century Paris porcelain craftsmanship by the renowned Le Tallec workshop.

Pair of 19th Century French Porcelain Apothecary Lidded Jars
Located in LA CIOTAT, FR
This beautiful pair of 19th century French porcelain apothecary jars exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of early pharmacy containers. Each jar features a slightly domed lid with a round finial, delicately highlighted with gilt accents. The bodies are hand-painted with rich polychrome decoration, including palm trees, medical caduceus symbols, and stylized serpents entwined around classical columns—traditional emblems of medicine and healing.
The jars are inscribed with their original Latin labels: CONS: TAMAR: (Conserve of Tamarind) and EXT: PAPAV: (Extract of Poppy), both once commonly used in apothecaries for medicinal remedies. Their elegant design combines functionality with refined decoration, making them as decorative as they are historic.
These jars would have originally been displayed in a 19th century pharmacy, both as storage vessels and as visible markers of important remedies. Today, they make striking decorative pieces for collectors of antique medical instruments...
