About this work
This blown and molded square-shaped bottle has a narrow neck and a flared lip. The baked white enamel shield is framed by stylized blue leaves with a yellow stylized flower. A yellow crown sits atop the shield. The jar’s label has the alchemical symbol for water just above the text <i>VULNER THND</i> in black. The jar would have contained Aqua Vulneraria Thedenii, a solution used to treat wounds and stop bleeding.
