Crafted in late 18th-century France, this glazed porcelain apothecary jar by Charles-Antoine Acloque features a cylindrical body adorned with intricate hand-painted decorations, showcasing colorful botanical and symbolic motifs.

The jar comes with a matching lid, enhancing its functionality and aesthetic appeal.
The inscription 'BUTYR: CACAO' on the flask indicates its original contents or the substances it was intended to contain, providing a glimpse into its historical use in pharmacies. It likely stands for 'Butyrum Cacao' referring to cocoa butter, a fat extracted from cocoa beans commonly used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for its emollient properties.
Beyond its functional purpose, this jar serves as a striking decorative piece, embodying the elegance and refinement of French Provincial style.
