An early 18th-Century apothecary's wet drug jar.

Continental origin. Most probably France.

With a pouring handle and spout, the baluster-shaped body supported on a raised circular foot.

Decorative with tin-glaze in underglaze blue, ochre and white on an earthenware body. The body is decorated below the spout in foliate forms with a single flower joining both sprigs together. The foliage flanks a blank cartouche.

Provenance - Ex-private collection, Belgium.

Condition - Please refer to the images. There are glaze losses commensurate with age as one would expect  A feint hairline crack approx 5 cm (2") runs from the rim of the neck and there is a minor frit to the inner-part of the rim too (see images). The crack and hairline are stable. The spout has been reattached historically and part of the circular foot has been reattached too (again historically).

The jar displays well overall. A further detailed condition report is available upon request.

Size - Height 23.5 cm (9 1/4)
