About this work
This urn–shaped drug jar has a grayish–white glaze, a straight neck, and a round, domed foot. A rectangular label is formed at the center of the jar by thin lines of brown, orange, and yellow, topped by four C–scrolls forming a blue cartouche with a yellow and orange center. The label creates a frame for the jars inscription. The outer frame is surrounded at its top and bottom by green and blue vines and swags of yellow beads.
