Vintage Longchamp Porcelain Apothecary Set
About the Item
This set of three original Longchamp vintage porcelain apothecary jars are in excellent condition. Longchamp was established in Burgundy, France, in 1832. The jars are hand-painted in blue on white porcelain. Not only the name of the herb or drug is painted in capital letters across the jar, but also the medicinal parts of the plant are illustrated. VINCA MAJOR, the greater periwinkle, is a perennial plant with little blue flowers that is traditionally used for its astringent and tonic properties, especially for women’s ailments and digestive problems. ACONITUM NAPELLUS, monkshood or aconite, is a highly toxic flowering plant. The helmet-shaped deep purplish-blue to violet flowers are striking. Extracts were traditionally given to reduce fever and pain. They have also been used as arrow poisons. DIGITALIS (lanata), foxglove, is also a toxic plant with beautiful flowers ranging from white to pink and violet. Foxglove is the major source of digoxin, an ingredient of prescriptions drugs commonly used for heart failure and irregular heartbeat. The Longchamp hallmark is found on the bottom of each jar. In addition, two of the jars bear the artisan’s name or establishment to where the apothecary jar was assigned to be used: URGA and SYLVENA. Measures: Height: 7 in. Diameter: 3.5 in. Each.
