17th Century Italian Majolica Albarello Apothecary Jar

 

Antique albarello from the 17th century Italy served both functional and decorative purposes. This one is embellished with a hand painted blue design over a white ground. The storage vessel was used in apothecaries and pharmacies as containers for ointments and dry drugs. Most albarelli have a slightly concave waist which allows a better grip. They have a beautiful decorative effect.
