Text on the back (picture 4) gives a brief history of Middle Ages pharmacy practices, and also describes the use and purpose of apothecary tiles or "pill tiles".
This tile measures 6 inches (15.2cm) square.
It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, scratches, or repairs. There is no discoloration in the glaze. The crackle lines in the background are part of the painted design (they do not extend to the edge of the glaze).
Watch for other fine vintage and antique porcelain items that I have to offer this week!
All my items are from a SMOKE FREE home.
I pack all items in sturdy cartons with plenty of cushioning. My shipping time is a HIGH estimate -- I can usually ship faster than the estimated time. I am happy to combine shipping to save on postage IF doing so will not risk breakage of fragile items. If you win more than one of my items, please wait for a revised invoice before sending payment.
International customers please be aware that there may be additional import duties and customs fees not included in the price of shipping. I will do what I can to keep the shipping costs low while still packing each item safely. Used items will be marked as such on the customs forms, which may reduce or eliminate import fees to some countries.
Good luck and thanks for looking!
