18th-Century Italian Glass Large Apothecary Jars (Set of 4)

$3,570

Historically, apothecary jars were used to store seeds, medicines and valuables – as a result, they were often dressed to impress with gilt detailing. Often, they’d bear inscriptions of their contents. Each Italian vessel from this 18th-century set is blown and painted by hand and complete with gilt detailing. Due to their age, they are intended for decorative use only. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
