Charming vintage painted glass apothecary jar with domed lid, inscribed Pro Dolore (Latin for “For Pain”) in bold black script. The reverse is marked Lilly, identifying it as a mid-20th century piece associated with the renowned American pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly & Co. Made of glass with an opaque white enamel finish and trimmed with a delicate gilt band, this diminutive jar is perfectly sized for a small shelf, or to bring varied height and interest when displayed alongside larger apothecary jars.
These jars were often used in pharmacies and medical offices for display and promotional purposes, echoing the style of 19th-century porcelain drug jars. Today, it makes a wonderful collectible for medical history enthusiasts, vintage pharmacy decor, or apothecary-style interior design.
Will be carefully DOUBLE BOXED with plenty of materials to help ensure its safe arrival at its new home. Please message me if you have any questions.
