About this work
This drug jar has a garland of stylized blue and orange flowers surrounded by green leaves. At the waist is a band of gothic-style letters. The lid with its round orange ball and green leaf finial does not appear to be original to the container. George Urdang author of <i>The Squibb Ancient Pharmacy Catalogue</i> attributes this jar to mid–eighteenth century Strasbourg.
