For your consideration, a lovely antique Paris porcelain apothecary jar decorated with an elaborate hand painted floral decor, circa mid to late 19th century France. The jar is in overall good condition with one shallow chip under the rim of the lid. Mild wear to the painted decor and gilding at the foot is noted in photos. Interestingly, the original painted decor and gilding was removed and was painted over with the flowers, perhaps the original jar purchaser cancelled their order and the maker painted over the removed design to save the jar for continued use (see pics 16-19 for reference).


Measures 12 inches in height and approximately 5.5 inches in diameter including the lid.
