Large Rare Colonial Williamsburg Delft Apothecary Jar! NR

Description

Sankaat is pleased to present for your cosideration this Scarce Delft Apothecary Jar made exclusively for the Historic Area Shops of Colonial Williamsburg! Jars like this one were used by 18th century chemists and apothecaries (pharmacists) to store herbs and drugs. The front cartouche of the jars would bear the name of the remedy for "potion" contained inside. Based upon an original English delftware example in the collection of the Colonial Williamsburg foundation this jar is marked on the base with the Oud Delft mark and the impressed year of manufacture - these jars were offered exclusively at the shops in Colonial Williamsburg. This jar is in excellent condition with surprisingly NO chips, nicks or cacks. This 7.75 inch by 5.25 inch jar would be ideal for the Colonial Enthusiast or Williamsburg Collector who only buys antiques and fine reproductions made of the highest quality by Oud, Michelle Erickson, and Goedewaagen. Thank you very much for viewing this auction. Please take the time to view the additional items of interest currently being offered by Sankaat on eBay!
