COLLECTION OF 7 PHARMACY AND APOTHECARY JARS – LIMOGES PORCELAIN AND DECORATED FAIENCE – FRANCE, 20th CENTURY

Beautiful decorative set consisting of seven covered jars from a French pharmacy and apothecary, made of Limoges porcelain and enameled faience.

– Capuchin Powder
– Pom. Antipsor.
– Flor. Sulfur
– Indian Hemp
– Ong. Napol.
– Populeum

The collection brings together several models and designs: polychrome cartouches, painted floral motifs, Rouen-style lambrequins, gilded highlights, and ancient pharmaceutical inscriptions.

The jar “Chanvre indien” (Indian hemp), with a height of 30 cm, bears under the base the mark Pofarma, Limoges France, Exclusive.

The jars “Pilules de cinabre” and “Poudre des Capucins” bear a Limoges mark “Au Pot de Galien – Exclusive.”

The two polychrome jars “Pom. Antipsor.” and “Flor. Sulfur,” 25 cm tall, feature a painted decor in the tradition of French faience.

The jar “Ong. Napol.”, 25 cm high, is adorned with two snakes entwining a bowl, a pink ribbon, and gilded highlights.

The large jar “Populeum” presents a polychrome floral decor on a white background, outlined with blue borders.

French decorative works of the 20th century, inspired by historic apothecary jars. These are not pharmaceutical jars from the 18th or 19th centuries.
