The jar is decorated with rapid, stylized landscapes and bears, on a central band, the pharmaceutical inscription "teriacha" (theriac) in gothic script. Material and finish: made of high-quality majolica (glazed ceramic), entirely hand-painted using the "bianco e blu" (blue and white) technique. The finish is glossy and shiny. The matching lid is decorated with a landscape and a knob. Base: the jar rests on a solid circular base. It bears the handwritten signature "l.a.c.a.
