Definition of apothecary jars
The dictionaries definition of apothecary jars is: a small, covered jar, formerly used by druggists to hold pharmaceuticals, now chiefly in household use to hold spices, candies, cosmetics, etc., and sometimes decorated, like a lamp base or flower vase’ and ‘a usually wide-mouthed covered and ornamented jar (as for drugs, herbs, or bathroom and kitchen supplies)’.
The history of apothecary jars
The use of apothecary jars can be traced back to human civilization. Glazed earthenware was used during the Renaissance period in both public and private pharmacies to store a variety of pharmaceuticals. The contents (solids or liquids) of the jars determined their size and shape. Some had ceramic tops, but most were sealed with a bladder, parchment, or cloth secured with a string. Inscriptions identifying the contents were written either directly on the jar or a separate label.
