It showcases the traditional albarello form, with a tall cylindrical body, slight waist, and broad rim, originally intended for the storage of apothecary goods. Contrasting the ornate script with the loose, flowing patterns of the decoration, this rare jar combines utilitarian history and decorative appeal. Well-proportioned, it makes an attractive display piece and pairs elegantly with the companion albarello currently available in our collection. See less
