About the Item

This small hand-painted pharmacy pot, hand-thrown in Calabria during the mid-1800s, is a beautiful example of artisanal craftsmanship. Traditionally used by pharmacies, this pot was designed to hold spices, herbal products, and medicinal preparations such as ointments, powders, and electuaries. The pot features an abstract hand-painted motif in verdant green, adding a touch of elegance while clearly identifying its contents. This unique decoration not only enhances its visual appeal but also reflects the artistic traditions of the time. To care for this delicate piece, gently remove loose dirt with a soft-bristle brush, as cloths may snag on fragile surfaces. While washing with tap water is acceptable, using distilled or deionized water is preferable to preserve the integrity of the ceramic. Always ensure that the water temperature is lukewarm or cooler to maintain the pot's quality. This charming piece is not only functional but also serves as a delightful representation of Calabria's rich cultural heritage.
