🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES

This Victorian hand-blown apothecary jar likely originates from a British chemist or apothecary during the 19th century, an era when pharmaceutical display jars were both functional and decorative. Hand-blown glass techniques, often identifiable by pontil marks and subtle bubbles in the glass, were standard in this period before industrial molding processes took over. These large-format jars were typically made to display herbs, powders, or tinctures in storefronts — serving both as storage and as a visual cue to passersby.

Similar examples have been found in historical pharmacies, and large pieces like this are now sought after for their sculptural presence and decorative versatility.
