A very fine antique faience pottery jar.
The jar is marked for "Semi D' Agno Custo".
It held vitex or chaste tree seeds (semi d'agnosasto in Italian).
The base bears an old "Wales" sticker that has a faint (inaccurate) Marseille pottery attribution. The jar is decorated in a typical French faience palette with pink flowers and purple swags, so it is possible that it the bottle comes from a border region potter.
In any case, it is a very fine addition to any antique apothecary jar or Albarello collection!
