About this work
George Urdang, author of <The Squibb ancient Pharmacy Catalogue</i>, noted that this jar, depicting two "eagles" flying toward the sun was made for the orphanage pharmacy (Waisenhaus Apotheke) in Halle, Germany. He also believed the manufacturer of this particular jar and 1991.0664.0231 can be attributed to the Globsow glass works, dating from about 1775.
