This authentic set of French apothecary jars represents early 20th century pharmaceutical history from traditional French pharmacies. These clear glass vessels were originally used for storing medicinal substances and chemical compounds in professional pharmacy settings.
Each jar displays clear glass construction with distinctive green metallic caps that show natural patina development over time. The original pharmaceutical labels read "SULFAS FERRICUS PUR" on the larger vessel and "RESINA ALB SCAMMONII" on the smaller jar, both featuring gold lettering on vintage paper labels with red borders. The caps are intentionally oversized compared to the neck openings, a characteristic feature of period pharmaceutical storage design.
The larger jar measures 25.5cm in height (10 inches) while the smaller companion piece stands 16cm tall (6.25 inches). Both French apothecary jars remain in good antique condition with original caps and labels intact. The clear glass shows minimal wear consistent with age and previous pharmaceutical use.
These authentic pharmacy vessels make distinguished additions to medical collections or decorative displays celebrating French pharmaceutical heritage.
