This clear glass Apothecary jar was right at home in your local general store standing at twenty-three inches tall. 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 cylinder type with a Colonial Swirl ground stopper. The base and top are free of chips and cracks and you can display just about anything in these jars! 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! 18497-QPP
