A beautifully crafted vintage ceramic apothecary jar marked Lilly — Made in Portugal, featuring a hand-glazed cream body with rich crackle finish and classic pharmaceutical lettering. The inscription “Pulv. Canthar.” (Pulvis Cantharides) recalls 19th-century pharmacy tradition, when such jars stored medicinal powders and tonics.
The piece’s scrolled lid, curved silhouette, and deep oxblood red medallion with laurel detail give it a timeless neoclassical presence — equally suited to display in a bathroom, library, or bar cabinet. Its warm patina and vintage crazing add depth and authenticity.
Dimensions: 8” H × 4” W × 4” D
Mark: Lilly — Made in Portugal (base)
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with light surface wear and age-appropriate crackling.
Style references: Old World Apothecary, Neoclassical Revival, Traditional European Decor
