About this work
This square-shaped blown and molded apothecary jar has a baked enamel label marked in red and black <i>OL PETRAE ALB</i>. The European Apothecary Collection contains dozens of drug jars with this same embellishment. The generic blue and yellow decoration with its stylized crown above the cartouche is similar to glass drug jars in the collection of the Deutsche Apotheken Museum in Heidelberg, Germany.
