Extra large antique hand blown Apothecary specimen jar 14.75 inches tall

Sorry, this item has sold.

Extra large hand blown antique apothecary jar is 14.75 in tall with the lid at approximately 4.5 inches in diameter with the base.

There are some small chips on the inside of the rim of the lid please see fifth picture. These particular jar has a very smooth punt mark at the base.

I picked these Apothecary jars up from a woman who rescued them out of a trash bin back in the 50s when she worked at the Smithsonian and they were modernizing their containers. Her story was she thought it was an abomination to throw these specimen jars away when they were works of art themselves so she rescued them and put them in her basement where I found them almost 50 years later.

The last photo contains a variety shot so you can get a sense of perspective about the size of the different pieces. This listing is for one jar only.

We offer free shipping to the continental United States and will cheerfully refund any other shipping overages. Let me know if you have any questions and thank you for shopping!
