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