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.
