Description
Every proper apothecary requires vessels that command absolute respect. Deep within the archives of the House of Virex, we have secured a documented piece of medical history, ready to anchor your personal laboratory or oddities display.

This brilliant cobalt blue porcelain apothecary jar is an authentic Chaldean Ltd artifact, carrying the prestigious provenance associated with the Gladstone Pottery Museum. It features a bold, gold-trimmed cartouche reading "UNG: ALTHÆA:" the traditional Latin designation for Marshmallow Root Ointment, a staple in historical botanical medicine. The rich, glossy blue glaze contrasts flawlessly against the crisp white banding and luminous gold details, making it an undeniable museum-grade focal point.

Whether utilized to store your own modern botanical ingredients or displayed purely as a striking, historical oddity on your shelves, it is a masterclass in antique pharmacy porcelain.

The Particulars:
- The Artifact: An authentic Chaldean Ltd porcelain lidded apothecary jar / pharmacy canister.
- The Details: Features a deep cobalt blue and white glaze with striking gold trim. The central label reads "UNG: ALTHÆA:" (Unguentum Althaea) in crisp black typography. Includes its original domed lid.
- The Markings: Authenticated Chaldean Ltd porcelain, with historical ties to the renowned Gladstone Pottery Museum archives.
- The Curation: The Alchemist Shelf.
- The State: Excellent antique condition. The porcelain glaze remains deeply saturated and highly reflective, with the gold detailing beautifully intact.
