Fine, painted gold bands trim the edges of the lids, necks, and bases, adding an elegant, polished touch to the pieces.The jars vary in color and individual graphic designs:Left Canister: Made of smooth, light pink ceramic. The front features a highly detailed, colorful heraldic crest incorporating wings, banners, and scrollwork. Enclosed within the crest is the scientific name "APOCYNUM CANNABINUM" printed in bold, black capital letters.Middle Canister: Also finished in the same light pink ceramic. Its central illustration features a prominent, stylized golden lion rampant (standing on its hind legs) facing right, positioned next to a banner reading "SCILLA MARITIMA".Right Canister: Finished in a clean, glossy white ceramic that contrasts with the pink pair. It showcases an elaborate, multi-colored ornamental shield framed by floral elements and ribbons, centering the botanical label "CHELIDON MAJUS".The overall aesthetic blends traditional European pharmaceutical history with a soft, modern color palette, serving as both functional storage and decorative accent pieces.
