Approximately 8cm in diameter Approximately 10.5cm in diameter Approximately 22cm in height (including lid) France Limoges Lidded canister/jar Written in gold lettering: CLAVIC: PURPUREA This is a medicine bottle that once stored Aspergillus purpureus (a type of mold). It seems that these were used in pharmacies and monasteries in the 19th to early 20th centuries to store extracts and compounds of medicinal herbs. These kinds of medicine bottles are also popular among collectors. Although it's called a medicine bottle, it's not palm-sized; it's a good size for storing short pasta or a large amount of tea leaves. There are no cracks or chips. The gold gilding remains beautiful, and it is in very good condition. Please refrain from individual price reductions.
