An Early Italian Majolica Wet Drug Jar
Large and imposing, an early Italian pharmacy jug, a wet drug jar, likely from Deruta. Fine condition except for its bottom drilled, it was taken apart as a lamp, (we have those pieces if wanted). From a large & fine collection, my source will be available to any buyer.The interior image here looks as if maybe repaired, ..no, that is just dirty, not washed or cleaned since lamp parts removal. The black is adhesive liquid remains on the underside, there is a factory mark right around the drilled hole. I've assumed the lettered front is a drug identity, not sure. 11.5" height, 4 7/8" bottom diameter.
