Vintage Hand-Decorated U. Basilicum Apothecary Jar

A beautifully hand-decorated vintage apothecary jar marked U. Basilicum, referencing Ocimum basilicum (basil), a highly valued herb in historic medicine. This elegant Delft-style jar features a striking blue and white floral motif, an angelic face at the base of the label, and a delicate basket of flowers at the top, all meticulously painted with fine detail.

The pedestal base and domed lid enhance its grandeur, making it an excellent decorative display piece or a standout collector’s item. Marked underneath Geo Martel, indicating a traditional ceramic manufacturer, this jar embodies classic European pharmacy heritage with timeless craftsmanship.

Ideal for apothecary enthusiasts, vintage decor collectors, or those looking for a unique statement piece in a kitchen, study, or display cabinet.
