This clear glass eleven inch Apothecary jar was right at home in your local soda fountain or drug store. We get many questions as to what an Apothecary did, and that person is likened to a modern day pharmacist. The Apothecary jars we used to store medication in the form of pills, creams, or herbs for making medication. Many general stores used these jars to hold candy as they were heavy enough to stand without tipping and clear so kids could see the candy inside. This nice Apothecary jar is a globe type with a Conical plain stopper. The base and top are free of chips and cracks and you can display just about anything small in this jar! We have gotten into the holiday mood and used Christmas balls to add color to this neat jar! We have other sizes of these cool Apothecary jars, be sure to search our site! 18599-QWT
