An exquisite and rare 19th-century Italian apothecary jar, hand-painted with the inscription “Sem. Oscimin” and adorned with decorative classical motifs and gilded accents.

Crafted from tin-glazed faience, this cylindrical pharmacy jar would have once housed medicinal seeds in a grand European apothecary.

Its bold black lettering, architectural motif with columns, and serpent medallion along the base make it a visually captivating piece of medical history.

Topped with its original domed lid and golden finial, this jar exemplifies the neoclassical elegance of the period.

The condition is excellent with minor age-related wear, and it remains a highly collectable item for decorators, collectors, and historians alike.
